  • Should be named Locked on BYU 2

    Absolute non stop talking about BYU. I get that they're good this season but they're not even the best team in the conference. Need to talk about the B12 as a whole not just BYU.

  • Why the BYU hate?

    Everyone’s mad about the BYU talk. They’re just the best team in the Big 12, so it makes sense. When someone else is on top they’ll be talked about most. Love this show and love Drake.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MUST SEE: SEC, ESPN Were Just EXPOSED for March Madness Bias, Burying Big 12, ACC for Auburn, Texas
Q: Do you think a merger of ACC and Big 12 media rights could make sense to close the funding gap with the SEC and Big Ten?
Yes, it could be a strategic move to reach higher payout levels by pooling TV rights, but it would require significant political and athletic negotiations, including trimming weaker programs and aligning on governance.
BREAKING: AJ Dybantsa DECLINING NBA Draft, RETURNING to BYU, Big 12 In 2027 Is HUGELY On the Table
Q: Do you care about going number one?
Dybantsa's response implied he would consider staying in college, especially if family considerations and continued development were at play, rather than forcing a quick jump to the NBA.
SOURCE: Big 12, ACC Merger Plan COMPLETE, THIS Team is Left Out, Big 10, SEC Threatened in Expansion
Q: Can you explain the significance of the Big 12 and ACC merger?
It could lead to significant changes in team alignments, affecting schools like Baylor and Oklahoma State.
BONUS: BYU, Texas Tech ACED Transfer Portal, Kyle Whittingham GUTTED Utah, Big 12 Transfer Portal
Q: So, do you think there's an expansion of the playoffs?
Once the toothpaste is out of the tube, we're done. There's really no going back with this.
BONUS: BYU, Texas Tech ACED Transfer Portal, Kyle Whittingham GUTTED Utah, Big 12 Transfer Portal
Q: Do you think the powers that be set after a couple of years? Now, we like this 12 team.
We no longer need the best team in college football.
