FYSA.. "The SEC and Big Ten require injury reports, but the Big 12 does not, so Utah does not have to reveal injury..
information." Interesting little quirk that's unique about the B12 conference.

Wasn't aware of this detail until today so it makes perfect sense why Whittingham has been pretending that Rising is ready. Seems to me like he's gotten as much mileage as he can out of it though. Have to imagine the teams left on Utah's schedule are going to prepare more for a healthy inexperienced Isaac Wilson and will care less about if Rising does in fact play because he still might not be 100% healthy.

Quote from from Whittingham :

“Since there is no mandate, why would you tip your hand in any way, shape or form with injuries? It doesn’t make any sense to give the opponent any more knowledge than they have,” Whittingham said. “And so that’s the only reason, it’s no other reason other than it’s a competitive advantage, even though it might be just slight, it’s still an advantage. The less they know, the more we know, that type of deal.”
