It sounds like Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark has no interest in adding Cal and Stanford.

Tune into any baseball game’s local broadcast, and you’ll be in store for plenty of wondrous, partisan commentary. Such is to be expected when the announcers are playing to an audience comprised almost entirely by their team’s local fanbase. With that type of dynamic, it’s rare that opposing sides of the same game ever agree on much when it comes to plays—or umpiring calls—of the subjective manner.
