Are The BYU Cougars The 'Most Big 12-Ready' Of The Four Newcomers? | BYU Cougars Podcast

The BYU Cougars are considered the be "the most Big 12-ready" of the four newcomers into the Big 12 Conference according to a report from Adam Rittenberg of ESPN and Jake Hatch explains why he thinks that is correct.

Jake then caught up on two BYU football-related items with the Cougars moving a road game against East Carolina to 2025 and freshman RM defensive lineman Isaiah Perez entering the NCAA Transfer Portal after one season in Provo.

Finally, the BYU athletics department ranked high once again in the Learfield Directors Cup fall standings while BYU basketball took care of business against Pepperdine and we looked back on a 42-7 rout of NMSU as our independence era lookback series continued.
