OutKick’s Dan Dakich rips Big 12 commissioner over his antics at press conference: ‘F— you’
Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark is officially in the crosshairs of OutKick's Dan Dakich after a stunt the commish pulled this week.
During a contentious interaction between Yormark and Texas Tech media personality Sean Dillon, the commissioner seemed to get irritated by a question presented by Dillon to the point where the conference honcho told Dillon to "stand up" and ask the question again.
"Stand up. Ask that question again, and I'm going to give you the answer I want to give you," Yormark said.
Say what?
Dakich, who isn't known to side with Big Js very often, couldn't believe what he was hearing out of the commissioner.
"These guys stand there like they're kings. Stand up! F--k you. I got a mic. I got a question," the host of "Don't @ Me" said during Wednesday's show. Keep in mind that Yormark is a 59-year-old Indiana grad. If Dan comes out with this strong of a take on a fellow IU guy, you know there's something cooking here.

"You ain't worth standing up. Don't answer the question. What are these guys? These guys are pasty white dudes that never played a sport in their life, politic their way through the athletic administration world. And now they're king? What? That is absolutely disgusting to me."
What did Dillon ask that was so preposterous that Yormark needed him to stand up?
Dillon asked a rambling question that started off with mention of the Big 12 banning the act of tossing tortillas during Tech games, a tradition that had gone on for 35 years. Then, he pivoted to Oklahoma State's tradition of slamming paddles into the padded walls at games. Ultimately, he got around to asking about quarterback Brendan Sorsby and how the Big 12 sued Tech while Sorsby's connection to Cincinnati hasn't brought heat on the Bearcats.
Yormark seemed to blow his fuse when Dillon questioned the league's commitment to supporting all schools. We're talking some real minutiae here. None of this matters, guys.
What matters here is that Dakich sided with a credentialed member of the media. Hell has officially frozen over. Even Dan's sworn enemies noticed. We're talking a rare moment in OutKick history right here. Mark it down.
