Summary
Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark addressed the anti-LDS chants directed at BYU during the Big 12 Tournament, but the conference also faced other issues this week. Heartland College Sports' Pete Mundo explains how the commissioner handled the big issue this week.
Also, from the much-hyped Big 12 glass court that turned into a major bust, to Kansas State’s interim coach delivering a bizarre postgame press conference, there has been no shortage of drama.
Mundo also explains why the Big 12 still has work to do when it comes to building true conference rivalries in the new 16-team league.

| 0:49.1 | I'm going to preface it by saying some people alleged |
