Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark not hiding favoritism for teams staying in league

Associated Press  

LUBBOCK, Texas — Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark isn’t hiding his favoritism for teams that will be staying in the conference. Yormark said Wednesday that he plans to be at 11th-ranked Texas’ final regular-season game as a Big 12 member when it hosts Texas Tech the night after Thanksgiving. “Coach, I’m not going to put any pressure on you, but I’m going to be in Austin for Thanksgiving,” Yormark said as he addressed the Red Raider Club kickoff luncheon. “And you better take care of business like you did right here in Lubbock last year.” The Red Raiders were 8-5 last season in McGuire’s debut and had their first winning record in conference play since 2009.
