The Big 12 Conference has pledged to defend BYU and every other member institution, according to a report by Dave McCann. The commitment comes amid ongoing conference realignment pressures affecting college athletics.
BYU Cougars head coach Kalani Sitake was photographed with his team singing the fight song for fans after a loss to Texas Tech at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas, on November 8, 2025. The game serves as a backdrop to the conference's broader stance on protecting its members' interests.
