Brett Yormark is sticking around as the Big 12’s commissioner.
According to ESPN, Yormark got a three-year extension through 2030 to stay as the leader of the conference. Yormark has been the commissioner of the Big 12 since Bob Bowlsby left in 2022.
Yormark has been at the forefront of the recent realignment era in college sports. As Texas and Oklahoma left for the SEC ahead of the 2024 football season, the Big 12 moved to add BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF. The conference then added Colorado and subsequently Utah, Arizona and Arizona State as the Pac-12 dissolved when it couldn’t agree to a new media rights deal.
