Brett Yormark’s first order of business as commissioner of the Big 12 is to keep the league from imploding, but somewhere on his to-do list must be to have a sit down with incoming member BYU.
The introduction starts with, “Yeah, we’re not doin’ this.”
There is a reason why a school with such a large enrollment (33,500), alumni base, history of athletic success and a healthy amount of T-shirt fans was never asked to join a top athletic conference before the Big 12 reached out last year.
