College football announcer says Big 12 will have a 'banner year' as more realignment could be in works

FOX Sports broadcaster Tim Brando appears on OutKick’s "Hot Mic" to discuss conference realignment and what he expects to see from the Big 12.

Starting July 1, college sports conferences look a whole heck of a lot different.

The Big 12 alone added four schools: Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah.

This is just Year 1 of the new-look college sports scene, and more realignment could be on the way sooner rather than later.

There is lots of chatter that both Florida State and Clemson could bounce from the ACC and join the Big 12.

Given that speculation, Fox Sports college football announcer Tim Brando says that is why Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark "has been working so hard to get additional revenue."

"That's why, the private equity, the selling of the naming rights of the conference, all of that is designed to sweeten the pot to make it more of a big-time hit financially for [Clemson and Florida State]. That's what they want. They want Big Ten, SEC-ish money…" Brando said on OutKick's "Hot Mic" on Thursday.

"They've got a wealthy group of people that are behind them and are really turning up the screws and are telling their people ‘we gotta find a way to get the hell out,' and Brett Yormark, I think, could be offering them something a little sweeter if he could pull a few of those public relations maneuvers he has in mind… But they've also got the litigation to overcome, and that'll take some time too."
