About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of Utah's private equity issues on the Big 12 and Oklahoma State, alongside football preseason rankings and team dynamics.
Utah’s high-profile private equity deal unravels as layoffs hit the athletic department—has financial control slipped away from the Utes? The Big 12 Squad dissects Utah’s $500 million capital saga, audit scrutiny, and the controversial shift in hiring power to Wall Street investors. With concerns mounting over depleted rainy day funds and drastic staff moves, rivals question if skipping the RedBird deal saved other schools from similar turmoil. The show pivots to football as The Athletic names BYU the Big 12’s “clear favorite,” igniting debates about preseason rankings, quarterback turnover, and Arizona’s surprising exclusion from the top 25. Texas Tech, Houston, and TCU all get spotlighted as contenders, while the panel challenges key transfer quarterbacks and roster moves across the league. Plus, chaos unfolds live as Texas Tech softball delivers a walk-off and West Virginia clinches a thriller—Big 12 drama at its finest.
