Big 12 Conference commissioner Brett Yormark has agreed to a three-year contract extension, as reported by multiple sources. Yormark's initial deal, set in 2022, was to last through 2027. This extension ensures his leadership through 2030.

During his tenure, Yormark played a crucial role in establishing a strong foundation for the Big 12 amidst significant conference realignment, notably the departure of Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC. Furthermore, Yormark successfully negotiated a TV deal and facilitated the addition of several new members to the Big 12, including Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, BYU, Houston, Cincinnati, and UCF.

The contract extension signifies the Big 12 presidents' confidence in Yormark's leadership, committing to another five years under his guidance.
