On Tuesday, the Big 12 conference approved a three -year extension of the commissioner Brett Yormark.
The Board of Directors of the league voted to expand its five-year-old five-year-old agreement, which will end in 2027 during the 2029-30 academic year.
58 -year -old Yormark fulfilled Bob Bowlsby in 2022. He helped to reorganize the conference view of the Big 12 in a national way and increased his membership to coincide with the separation of Texas and Oklahoma.
“Brett's strategic thought and creative initiatives are vital for the success of Big 12 and we are looking forward to building this acceleration in the coming years,” said Linda Livingstone, Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of the Board of Directors. He said.
In 2022, Yormark made a new television agreement of $ 2.3 billion with ESPN and FOX and the four former PAC-12 members added 2024 to the shepherd: Colorado, Arizona, Arizona Province and Utah. In addition, Byu, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF in 2023, the floor, previously negotiated expansion controlled.
“I want to thank the Board for their continuous support.” He said. “We have made great progress in the last three years and our best days are ahead. I am excited to continue to work with our member schools as they strengthen the big 12 innovative and prepared for what the future can do.”
Before taking over Big 12, Yormark was the CEO of Roc Nation, Jay-Z's amusement company.
