BYU Cougars & Big 12 Conference Stand Poised For When Clemson & Florida State Kill ACC

The BYU Cougars and Big 12 Conference are in a strong position with the ACC appearing to be on the verge of blowing up and the "unattractive" Big 12, led by commissioner Brett Yormark, having an opportunity to expand their reachwhile remain a viable product and league even as they see the Pac-12 and Atlantic Coast Conference falling by the wayside, with the Clemson Tigers joining the Florida State Seminoles in initiating what will be the first of mortal blows to the ACC via their recently-filed lawsuits.

The consolidation of power, money and influence of the Southeastern Conference and the Big Ten Conference is undeniable, but the Big 12 remains poinsed to withstand another round of conference realignment and could even strengthen themselves if they are smart with their decisions and moves, a la adding power programs like the Miami Hurricanes, Virginia Cavaliers or the North Carolina Tar Heels along with the aforementioned Clemson and Florida State dominos set to fall and reignite mass chaos.

Jake then talked about the philosophy of the BYU men's basketball program that Mark Pope has embraced and the backstory of Keegan Brown's key influence in selling Pope on their NBA-esque offensive style and how they go about differentiating themselves from their Big 12 peers as they get set to take on the Duqesne Dukes Thursday in the NCAA Tournament.

Finally, the show wrapped up with notes on the BYU football program locking in another Friday night game this fall against the Oklahoma State Cowboys, The Royal Blue Collective re-launching their website with new Brigham Young University (BYU) NIL opportunities along with an update on where things stand for the BYU baseball program after a win over Utah Tech Trailblazers.
