By John Shinn Transcript Sports Writer
Any lingering doubts about the long-term stability of the Big 12 conference were obliterated on Friday. The league announced it has signed a fiveyear agreement for its football champion to face the champion of the Southeastern Conference in a postseason bowl game, beginning at the end of the 2014 season.

same year the four-team playoff for the national championship begins. The champions of the two conferences will be in the game unless one or both are selected to play in the new four-team model to determine the national championship. Should that occur, another team from the conference would be selected for the game. What the Big 12 and SEC have created is a major bowl game totally free of the current
bowl structure. It will be completely owned and operated by the two conferences. The inaugural game will take place Jan. 1, 2015. The site hasn’t been determined. “Our goal is to provide the fans across the country with a New Year’s Day prime-time tradition,” commented acting Big 12 Conference Commissioner Chuck Neinas. “This is a landmark agreement between two

Gone, but not forgotten
Police file charges on former officer By Joy Hampton Transcript Staff Writer
City officials confirmed the Norman Police Department presented charges to the Cleveland County District Attorney’s Office involving a possible larceny by a city employee. The suspect is a noncommissioned police department employee. The District Attorney will consider the evidence in determining whether formal criminal charges are warranted. Further details of the suspected crime have not been released. “This is an ongoing investigation,” City Manager Steve Lewis said. “I think it would be impossible to comment on it at this time.” Lewis said that any larceny, regardless of the amount, is considered serious. The employee is on administrative leave with pay pending the completion of the ongoing internal investigation, Lewis said.

Police memorial honors six fallen county officers who died in the line of duty By Joel Pruett Transcript Staff Writer
Norman Police Chief Keith Humphrey said nearly 21,000 American peace officers have died in the line of duty since 1791. Of those officers, 463 served in Oklahoma, and six served within Cleveland County. On Friday, with the latter six in mind, friends, families and community members held hands over hearts to the singing of the national anthem, then bowed their heads in prayer. They gathered for the Norman Law Enforcement Memorial Service

Laura Tuschmann, wife of Norman Police Officer Sean Tuschmann, slowly read the names of the six fallen as community members, escorted by officers, placed red roses before the facade of the Norman Police Department. Earlier, Laura Tuschmann paralleled the exploits of the officers to crime fighters of a different variety: superheroes. • See MEMORIAL Page A2
