Which Big 12 quarterback is headed to Rocky Top to replace Nico Ayamalavea? Well, we're talking about on the Lockdown Big 12 Squad. You're talking ball with the Big 12 Squad, sponsored by Game Time. From Oklahoma State to Utah, from Kansas State to BYU, from Houston to Texas Tech, it's the local experts of the Lockdown Podcast Network,

bringing you scoops, breakdowns, and the most comprehensive preview of the upcoming Big 12 weekend. Buckle up, it's the Big 12 squad and we have a seat for you. Know her feelings and thin skin allowed. Squad up, you're part of the Big 12 squad. your host filling in for Drake told today but hey nonetheless having some fun talking all things BYU unlocked on Cougars next to me that is Parker Engsworth of locked on Cougs don't get it confused that's locked on Houston for those of you out there Cam Stewart next to him host of locked on Baylor doesn't have his name you know underneath his you know more important the handle uh at real camp it's all about personal branding, Jay. There you go. Hello me, Richie Sanders, Richie Bradshaw. It's a hander.

Okay, BYU. BYU on the brain. Yeah. I don't know. Richie Bradshaw from Locked on Sun Devils and I am not that good a shooter. And I got my favorite guy, JT Whistler So from Locked on Utes and the man, the myth, the legend, Chris Level from Locked on Texas Tech. How is everybody this evening? Everyone answer at once. Great, fantastic. I'm doing awesome, thank you.

Now, I'm good, because I'm not a Tennessee fan. Oh, hey. Oh. Oh. As Drake likes to say, make sure you subscribe to each of our shows so we can keep our jobs. That's the number one thing we're all here for

is to stay employed and doing the shows that we do. But as JT referred to, we're doing much better than any Tennessee fan out there because their quarterback, Nico Ayamaloveya, apparently has decided that he is going, well, at least he tried to hold Tennessee hostage for more money. And it backfired in a big way. And essentially every one of our quarterbacks is now being rumored to be going to Tennessee. Is that not correct, everybody? Rumor, no, they're already there every single one.

I've heard this. Schuyers there, Levitz there, they're all there. There's a lot of rumors about who's going where but I'll just say this, Nico decided to leave a program like Tennessee over a couple of million, I think it's just awful and everything wrong with the sport right now. That's why you don't let your dads control

where you're gonna go to school. Yeah, Jake, you hear that? Imagine that, a parent screwing it up for the kid. No way, I cannot believe that. I'm an ASU fan. I mean, no comment over here, Robert, like, er. But, okay. Can you guys imagine if he did this,

what was it, Josh Pate report, that he almost did this before the before the playoffs game. Like that's apparently a few of them. What? It wasn't even just him. That's what that's what bugs me the most. I did like this thread on Twitter the other day that nobody saw.

But it was so okay. It's getting a scandal on the screen. That's why it's on the screen. So more people. This is why it's on the screen. But like we I think we all are on the same page here. Like the way it was done before NIL was too far in the other direction. Like, I use the example, you couldn't have the car in front of you by

your Taco Bell in the drive through. Like that's, that's insane. Right? We all wanted players to get paid in some way. But through Taco Bell. But this is nonsensical, like to just be, all right, we're in the playoff now. Extra money. Yeah, like that's not even how the pros work. You're paid for the regular season in professional sports. You're not paid. I mean, you can have some incentives, but there's no pay for the postseason. A postseason incentive would have been agreed upon ahead of time

as a contract like that's a whole. With the team is in a system that they had to make a choice like we either play the pay the ransom or out I mean in the pros you hold out all you want but you still hold the rights and then that

those rights are worth a draft pick or whatever but but you're just, you're just left with nothing. There's definitely plenty of this screwed up here. And the thing I couldn't stop thinking of when hearing this paint report was what if that was Boise state? Like they don't, they don't just pony up the money in 24, 48 hours and give a couple more million dollars out to whatever six or eight guys. They can't do that yeah Arizona State Arizona State do that I don't think so no absolutely not no you're years away from being able to do that

neither either way you don't have the SEC money to to be fair though I think this only happens at a powerful program because otherwise they're looking to transfer up a division kind of like you know these QB the whole I mean, it's a good football program. But he ended up nowhere. I say, no, he did commit somewhere. But I know what you mean. It wasn't a big program. But he he had also, I almost feel like that's kind of the inverse because the story there

wasn't that he had been told he'd get some money that he never got. Right. That's a little bit different. Allegedly. Yeah. Right. Right. Oh my gosh. You're one to talk face on summer morning too, by the way. I see we just let them go split screen and fight it out. Solid reporting. I don't think Cam probably the one who wants to get the first swipe in after everything that happened last week.

Also I love how fired up Cam is with his handheld mic today. You like this? Yeah, I've started to do this. You were holding onto a pen a little bit ago for some reason too, I guess you're just. I've started to do this on my show a little bit more, the handheld mic, I think it's more personal. Oh, the Matt Patricia. It's kind of like cigarettes, the handheld mic.

You know it's. One third of the show is BYU in Utah. You gotta explain cigarettes a little bit more. Yeah, I know it's just, you know it's uh. One third of the show is BYU in Utah. You gotta explain cigarettes a little bit more. You know it's not good for you but it looks cool as hell. Regular. It's not

candy cigarettes Utah guys. I think Rob Wright is an upstanding young man. That's all I'm gonna say. And BYU is lucky. His dad's even better. Look, they don't outspend you. They just out love you. Yeah. Yes. We will love you and we'll develop you but you know, getting paid along the way doesn't hurt. Now, which is okay to admit. I'm telling BYU, it's okay to admit that. Cam, you and I are

of a like mind here. Now, that may get us in trouble with BYU fans but you can admit that. That's okay. Well, that actually explains it because I was going may get us in trouble with BYU fans, but you can admit that, that's okay. Well, that actually explains it, because I was gonna ask, is there a BYU or Utah-ish reason they're not just admitting that they're paying them a lot of money? There's nothing wrong with it.

There's this notion of among certain church leaders in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that you must be more pious and have to like downgrade why you're doing what you're doing in a way. That's the issue we're at hand right now Parker is they want to be like okay yeah we're competitive we're not you know actually outgunning everybody even though that's exactly what they're doing. Editors note the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not fund anything BYU athletics related. Thank you, Cam. Thank you for Claire. That's directly from my lawyer.

This is where you wink in the camera. Yeah. Yeah. Not once. Now, okay, here's the whole deal, but that comes all back to the else way. But Chris makes a very good point, is that in the pro ranks, you have contracts,

you've got CB, you have the collective bargaining agreement that all hold these guys accountable. Speaking of you hold rights as a team. With the transfer portal, the way it's set up in addition to NIL, as Chris mentions, either you pay the ransom or you get your guy leaves. And that's what Tennessee, we're saying, we're not playing ball here.

And that's the concern I think for any program now. Richie, you're looking at a guy like Sam Lev. I look at Jake Retzloff up here in Provo. You don't need to, you don't need to. They're not going to do that. Okay, thanks. But here's the deal. Is that for both of us or just for him? No, Sam's good. Sam's good. Jake's fine. Jake's fine. I'm not Jake Retzloff. Well, Jake and Jake Hatch is fine as well. Neither is any Connor Wegman, but you know.

Okay, there you go. Connor Wegman's not Connor Wegman, man. Just letting go. Connor Wegman is staying. You can make the argument, though, that all six starting quarterbacks of the six people of the programs we represent is better than what Tennessee has

on campus right now, without a doubt. I would say that. I don't know. The Tennessee fans in the comments section of my video are they're okay with their quarterbacks.

They love that four-star kid. They love that quarterback room. McIntyre. They don't need no big 12 minor leaguers. Just like they were going to take over the horseshoe against Ohio State. Uh huh. But isn't the concern that any one of our quarterbacks, potentially among the six of us here, that if a quarterback were to decide to hold out, that's essentially what happened

here and say, hey, either you pay me X amount of money. In addition to what I've got going on here, how many of our programs you think are going to play ball are going to be willing to pony up on a short notice? I would imagine the BYU, even though they do have pretty deep pockets, wouldn't be totally cool being shaken down like that. Well, I think there's that's twofold though. And I mean, to jump in, because I don't think Conor Wakeman is the one doing that out of the six of us. But I do think that frankly, there's some aspect of having the money

and also not wanting to get punked on national television. And I think that even the school that has the money doesn't necessarily want to get punked on TV, right, Chris? We've got money right now, tech's doing very well right now. And I don't think they want to get punked on national TV either. Yeah.

By the way, by the way, this is funny. Cam just looked at his phone. I know what he just saw. He just got some news about his program. We can't get into it right now. Yeah. And I thought you did. And I thought you were like, okay. Because there's, yeah, there's anyway.

A little look behind the curtain there. It's our show here. It's definitely better than the alternative, which is I am on locked on NHL game night tonight and I'm trying to follow. Okay, yeah. It didn't have anything to do with that. Yeah, I think what is interesting about this QB thing

is that here's the point. I think they, what's the old saying? They're like, you know, you knew I was a snake when you picked me up. Oh yeah. I just saw it. I just saw it. Yeah, there you go. That's not just a Utah thing.

Come on. But I think that the quarterback is different than any other position on these teams because they are asked to be the culture guy and everything. And I think that they already kind of knew that Nico was maybe a bit of a problem. So this is kind of a, you know, and I would think that everybody brought their guy into the locker room and is, you know, you're representing the school thinking you already kind of know that they wouldn't they wouldn't roll that way so I mean I'm not trying to be naive but I think

you kind of got to know your signal color of anything because that's the face of your program in many cases. That's a very good point and that that's the concern I think all of us have to have now is how many guys are gonna try and follow this game plan you mentioned Matthew Sluca at UNLV he he tried to shake him down over a hundred K. We're talking about Nico Iamola holding Tennessee hostage over what, two million? The market is far different than it was back in the fall.

Yeah, it's absolutely nuts. Now the transfer portal continues to give and take as Cam Stewart well knows, but we're going to talk more about that and what ultimately, what's the future here because the house settlement is coming into effect guys and TBD on what the ultimate final look of it is. I want to dig into that moment. Tara, as you continue on right here, Unlocked on Big 12 Squad. Today's show is brought to you by Upwork.

So the house settlement is out there looming and Judge Claudia Wilkin in Oakland is considering changing some of the parameters here in terms of maybe smoothing the roster cut down limit. And before we went live with this, Chris, you were talking about this, the scholarship limits are no longer a thing. It's not a scholarship limit. It's now a roster

limit that you can actually fund as many scholarships as you want. But I'm of the opinion that you're going to see more and more power force squads of our ilk, probably limit the amount of scholarships versus maybe adding as many as they possibly can. And that's the interesting part about this is how much will the transfer portal and obviously NIL affect all this with this new reality we're all going to be dealing with in the house settlement era? Yeah, because what was initially announced is that you're adding scholarship limits to all these different sports and I think everybody looked at it and went, wow, this is great.

It's the NCAA's way of saying, y'all been saying that we've been holding this down, this down. Hey, you have added. However, the context is the more scholarships you add compared to what you already have, those scholarships are attached to a dollar limit. Okay. There's a dollar figure attached to it that everyone.

Okay. And every, and this is maybe, I don't know if this is universal, if this is campus wide or statewide, but if you add them a men's scholarship and football per se, then you've got to add a women's, the title line. Add a women's football scholarship. Well, you know, somewhere. And, and, and in that is that, you know, with these dollar figures attached to these scholarships, that counts against your salary cap.

So now everybody's got 20 and a half million. Well, you start adding a bunch of scholarships. Now all of a sudden you only have 18 and a half million. That's less money you can actually pay to your starting left tackle or your point guard or whatever, whatever we're talking. And then this is why I think the SEC came into this deal and said, hey, we're gonna keep it everything at 85 scholarships because we don't want

to hurt our salary cap. So- Is that the Cool-Aid Tanner, Drake Toll? I just did a podcast with him yesterday and he's even Tanner. Why Equestrian is such an important sport in college athletics like title nine and scholarship counts Chris level once again the consummate professional men good to see you all.

Hello better late than never to your own show. the the the the the the the the the This is your show to lead. I'm following you. You're steering the ship, sir. Hatch is getting like the Drake Toll face look here.

Was it sunny in Utah this week, Hatch? A little bit. A little bit. Golf season started in Utah, baby. Let's go. Ooh, wait. The greats living on the beach. So pulling up where Hatch level, where you're both coming from here with scholarships and

the way that the house settlement's gone, where I still get lost in a lot of this and I've had I've had crossovers with JT cam and Richie this week talking about them are Are the the in IL limitations with the transfer portal are non-existent? You can effectively do whatever you want and the difference in what in IL and the NFL free agency is is somehow free agency has more stipulations more more cuffs on it than what NIL is. Because again, if I am a left tackle at Texas Tech, I don't want to be there anymore, but I have a two-year NIL contract, you can't handcuff me to the football field, I unenroll and I re-enroll at Cincinnati,

and there's really not anything you can do. So we start talking about like your scholarship limits and where that will go, the house settlement and revenue sharing. I still think in at least the year interim before we get there, the NIL brokers who are making their big bucks and the college football players who can avoid the transfer portal,

like it hasn't even opened yet, Nico's already in it, right? That running so rampant is what I think is going to need to put a limit, some sort of stipulation, some sort of something on NIL on the board. Well, and we're sitting here acting like, okay, we're sitting here acting like if the house settlement gets approved, that somebody's market is worth 3.5 million if you're a point guard at BYU or 4 million if you play power forward at Texas Tech.

Now we're going to say, guys, you're only good guard at BYU or 4 million if you play power forward at Texas Tech. And now we're gonna say, guys, you're only good for 600 bucks now, like at a time on these NIL deals, or we've got a vet through the, I mean, that's lunacy that we all think that you're gonna put toothpaste back in the tube. And I know everybody wants guard rails and you want limits, and some people wanna be protected from themselves

in this standpoint. But I just think it's... I think that's exactly the thing though, though, Chris, is that the people that want to close Pandora's box are the same ones that opened it, the same one that had the money. They're begging, the same way that the NFL or the NBA will put the salary cap to prevent the owners from having to

like just give up all their money right they don't that's really them protect themselves you don't want bag men to come back don't we come on and you and you'll get them you'll get them well and i'm not so silly to think that like we're aren't currently operating with bag men right now either i mean what's reported what's not reported that kind of stuff right but i do think that part of the reason there'll be some sort of stipulation on it is because the people moving the money will want to protect themselves like you're exactly like you're insinuating though, Chris, that's part of it is it that's that's why any salary cap exists. The one thing that's so fascinating about this to me about all the NIL and the changes

in the things the restrictions we want, like the way to fix it. Do the big dogs, SEC Big 10, do they actually want to fix this because there's something really fascinating that's playing out right now. I don't know if you guys saw it, Jaden Notton is the really good running back at cap. He is now in the portal and already he is attached to Oklahoma as a, as a team to watch for. So if the SEC and the big 10 can just do this where anytime it's like, Oh, hey, maybe we can get the NIL funds. Now we can go add the best player from some of these other non ACC, some of these other non SEC and, and Big 10 teams, like, are they going to continue to do that? And yes, Nico just left and we talked

about all that too, but I'm curious to see how what it looks like the big dogs want this, how much of this they want to get under control when they can frequently benefit from it by poaching some of the top guys off the programs that aren't like a Texas Tech and a BYU that have an NIL threshold worthy of those top brands. That's a good point. The toothpaste has been, the cap is off and the biggest schools in the country are brushing their teeth.

This is not benefiting Boise State. This is not benefiting Washington State. It's benefiting Ohio State with Will Howard. And to be fair, it's not even benefiting the majority of the teams in those two conferences. Right. In the SEC and the Big Ten. Like, we laid out the scenario earlier of Tennessee's players holding out and them needing to cough up a couple million bucks in the span of, like, whatever, a day or two.

I don't know if Michigan State could do that. I don't know if Illinois could do that. I think it has benefited the Big 12. I don't know if Ole Miss could do that. Rutgers ain't doing it. So it's just funny to me, like, they all sit in those chairs that come with the hotel twelve. I think it has benefited the big twelve. I don't know if Ole Miss could do that. Rutgers ain't doing it. So it's just funny to me like

they all sit in those. Did you had you sit in the chairs that have the hotel rooms? Level you say it has benefited the big twelve? A thousand percent. Fancy the oil money guy says that huh? I mean the rich guy. Land man level. I mean Jake or

do you think that these rules right now have benefited BYU? The why you the guy with the NHL to most? That's the two most lucrative schools that we're talking about. When we're talking about Texas Tech at BYU. I've talked about this at length on my show. I'm not trying to dive into again, but Keanu Tonovasa was a defensive tackle at Utah. You said he was going to stay. Now he's at BYU. That's not good for Utah and a lot of the other big players in a Utah that's how you are. That's how the other just happens. That's how does two make up the conference soon though, JT is that they're funneling up to the top

couple dollar brands there too. That's what we're saying is like Michigan State can't keep up with Ohio State. That's what we're saying. But I would say this like Parker's sitting there talking from a standpoint of his team just won the basketball league championship. Richie's sitting

there. His team just won the football championship. You got two others that are trying to spend to create those memories and make those things happen. I mean, Baylor is going to be good. I just think it's with what you've been given. I think you're trying to elevate and you're creating a buzz about your league and I don't know I'm not so certain this isn't level with BYU and creating a buzz here let's let's keep it

really. That is nothing to do with Bumblebees. They love their own duels up here in Provo. All right don't we need a we need a sponsorship don't don't throw their name out there like that. They're gonna make them earn it. Don't we have a five hour interview sponsorship from Parker? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see. New guy Nick and his. I was coming. It's so good.

I can't believe it. Five hour came back. You're welcome. They sure did. They sure did. They sure did. the- the- the- the- the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the

Do we want to talk more Portal stuff or can I throw something out there real quick area yeah I don't like it all what are your top five p all the retired numbers I hate what Colorado football focus question for y'all since last this question for y'all since last. His face got so sad. I actually think all y'all are going to agree with me. Does anyone like what Colorado's doing? Like I think both of them would probably eventually get their jerseys retired.

Travis, no doubt. Shador would be a question. Why are they doing it now? This feels very weird. So why not question on that? Actually the standard, the standard is much lower these days than it used to be. It makes me sound like the old guy. The upside down, yes.

He was just there. And you want to know why they did that? Why? Not upside down, but I think they did that because of that lawsuit. They're like, please don't sue us, man. We're going to do something really nice for you. We held you out for like six weeks through some bad investigation. I mean, and Travis Hunter makes sense to me.

Shador Sanders does not. Like what, what did we want here? When you talk about the lower ring where the requirements, like I feel like long-term, especially if he's a first round pick, like he does well in the NFL, he would eventually get his jersey retired there, but it just feels weird to do it so soon for a guy

that didn't win a Heisman like a Travis. I mean, they, the homes in the ring of honor up here and he did not have just this all world career at Texas tech, wildly entertaining. They just didn't win very much. You put him in because of all the super bowls that he'd won and it's good optics and politics and everything. Did they have like a game or something where they brought my homes back to enter into that ring of honor?

Yeah. They win the game and they're surely they want a question for me. They and then Baylor would go on to like, like win one. I haven't seen it yet. That's right. I know how embarrassing we won our Superbowl. Yeah, that's right. That's right.

Oh, it was just a bad, yeah, bad, bad for all parties there. But Houston, like in the last 15 years, put in right. Oh, it was just a bad, yeah, bad for all parties there. But Houston, like in the last 15 years, put in stipulations on what it takes to get your jersey retired and like just kind of outlined it. And they did retroactively throw a guy or two in that met those credentials.

But like in basketball, you have to have been on a Final Four team. In football, you have to have done XYZ accolades. Like, is that not commonplace everywhere? I guess I just assumed everywhere had something like that. Well, I can tell you, BYU, you have to have graduated from BYU. Jim McMahon didn't get in for 30 years because he didn't actually finish his coursework for three decades. When he finally finished it, the very next season, all of a sudden, Jim McMahon's on LaVella Edwards Stadium field getting his jersey retired. I actually love that though. I love that.

I think that should be how it is. That's loyalty to your program. That is interesting. Like mine were all on the field, on the court kind of stuff. But I guess that's, I assumed everyone had things. Well, you have to be a first team All-American in one of those, the AP or USA Today, whatever it was to get it. I mean, that's what you were saying, right? My homes was not. He's the only exception and they basically like drew into the deal like that. We're going to take the whole career into account. I mean, we're getting as part of this is going to be a big factor. Yeah, that's right. That's right.

So Oklahoma should retire. Got to have his number retired with Arizona State. No, well, they didn't win a league championship. They won a league championship. It's more than what the finalists but you're only talking about two years. the league. Well, they they didn't win a league championship. They won a league championship. It's more than what the finalist but you're only talking

about two years. Yeah, but where's he ranking the all time rushing list? Well, and how for how long in golf car? Two years a common thing because you'd play your junior. Okay. Sorry. How many lawsuits have been filed? Yeah, that's right. I'm I'm waiting to hear back on if Cam's going to settle the- the- the- the- the- the

the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the-

the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- the- I would take Stephen Montes. Joel Clatt, man. Joel Clatt. I would take Darien Hagan. I would take Darien Hagan. Cody Hawkins. Sal Lines. But there's a tallest kindergartner too, Drake. That doesn't mean that it's like in a war. Oh! There's a tallest kindergartner.

Oh wow. There is. Like that's, come on. Peven Bull is not even here to defend himself. The most single season, single season passing yards. He's number five in career passing arts in two seasons. All the guys ahead of him had four years. He was the most sacked in Colorado history.

With the losing record, losing record in two years. And a losing record. No doubt. One of the worst historical football programs that you could dream up. Cordell Stewart died? Where's Cordell Stewart in all this? Come on, slash, come on.

Cordell Stewart is still not, he's six behind Shador Sanders, thank you very much. In career passing yards, by the way. Drake, based on your logic, should Kam Rising's jersey be retired? I mean, you've talked about it back to back pack 12 times, like just like today. No, eventually for sure, but like right now.

Like right now they should just retire me. They should just do it, just do it, get it out of the way. And put the jersey upside down and lift it up. And yeah, I don't. Yeah, I guess you could wait. What can someone tell me why he's keeping him wait five years like this is absurd. Like that. Like, okay, yes. But what how cool would it have been if case Keenum still on campus in the spring and you were tight? Because you knew you're going to would it be that cool? I don't
