The Big 12 conference will implement weekly player availability reports for football and basketball, mirroring the SEC and other Power Five conferences. This change impacts Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham, who previously only disclosed season-ending injuries. Whittingham favored a uniform approach across all conferences, stating he has no strong opinion as long as it's a level playing field. The new policy requires teams to release reports three days before and 90 minutes before kickoff, listing players as probable, questionable, doubtful, or out.
