In this episode, John explains why Jay Hill to Michigan is actually a sign of BYU’s rise, why both BYU and Utah are better positioned than ever to withstand staff raids, and what Whittingham really said about his Utah exit and his plans for building a “state of Utah super staff” in Ann Arbor. Plus, Notre Dame finally agrees to a home-and-home with BYU, Texas Tech gets set for the biggest game of the new Big 12 era against Oregon, and John lays out which Big 12 programs are most likely to turn into perennial playoff contenders.Get the “Open For Business” Big 12 Newsletter:https://bit.ly/OFBNews12YTBig 12 Newsletter — Open For BusinessGet Big 12 news, playoff analysis, realignment talk and private capital breakdowns delivered straight to your inbox.Sign up here: https://bit.ly/OFBNews12YTMerch Storehttps://johnkurtzofb.myswaggymerch.coSubscribe For More Big 12 Coverage@JohnKurtzShowSupport The ShowVenmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/John-Kurtz-4Follow JohnTwitter: @jlkurtzInstagram: johnkurtzshowLinkedIn: /jlkurtz2/#BYUFootball #UtahFootball #KyleWhittingham #MichiganFootball #TexasTech #Big12Football #NotreDame #CollegeFootball #CollegeFootballPlayoff #JohnKurtz #OpenForBusinessBig12🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
