BYU is in the Big 12. Say it with me. Doesn’t that sound great?
While football is the biggest revenue driver and makes the top headlines, BYU men’s basketball may be the biggest beneficiary of all. The WCC has been good to BYU since the Cougars made the jump in 2011. BYU has made the NCAA Tournament 5 times and is with one college basketball’s giants in Gonzaga. BYU has watched the Zags go from a really good program to one of the top teams annually in college basketball. Many fans thought BYU would consistently trade blows with the Zags when Jimmer took them down in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, but BYU hasn’t taken that step while the Zags have blown by them.
