## Resource

Big 12 powerhouses rethink private equity as BYU and Houston reject RedBird Capital’s $30 million offer—could financial strategy shape the new conference elite? The Big 12 Squad dissects what BYU’s debt-averse philosophy means for their future, why Houston’s leadership is pressing pause, and whether Oklahoma State or Iowa State are positioned to take the risk, aiming to leap ahead in the evolving college sports arms race. Key segments explore how this RedBird deal differs from Utah’s approach, implications for NIL and facility upgrades, and the brewing ACC vs. Big 12 rivalry for Power Three status. Plus, get the latest on Big 12 baseball: West Virginia’s postseason surge, Oklahoma State’s must-watch battle with Arizona State, and whether coaching changes are on the horizon for BYU. Is this the start of a seismic shift in college sports funding?
