  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EXPLAINED: Every Big 12 Team is DENYING Brett Yormark's Free $30 Million
Q: Hey, I have a quick question, Drake. Now, I don't know if there's a massive differentiation between the Utah deal and this private equity deal for the Big 12.
The group explains that a key difference is ownership: Utah's structure is described as a separate entity with a new for-profit arm, whereas the Big 12 private equity loan approach does not seem to surrender ownership of universities' athletic departments; it's about leveraging capital while maintaining conference control.
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.
