SHOCKWAVE: PAC 12 DESPERATE For Big 12 Merger As Memphis Rumors SURGE, Bold Move for Brett Yormark?

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 11 May 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Big 12 faces a crossroads as the Pac-12 eyes expansion and a possible league merger. Could a Big 12–Pac-12 alliance reshape college football’s power balance and revive the Conference of Champions’ iconic legacy? Drake Toll and Cam Stuart break down realignment rumors, debate the branding impact of a merger, and challenge the value of adding programs like Oregon State, Washington State, and Boise State versus basketball-centric schools such as UConn or Gonzaga. The discussion takes a sharp turn into finances, with private equity deals rejected by Baylor, BYU, and Cincinnati, exposing deep concerns about predatory interest rates and outside corporate control of athletic departments. Plus, Texas Tech’s dominance on the recruiting trail—landing five of Texas’s top 11 prospects—raises the stakes for rivals Baylor, TCU, and Texas A&M. Can Joey McGuire’s bold NIL strategy put Texas Tech at the forefront of the Big 12’s new era?
