College athletics will look very different in the coming years, and the new NCAA Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yomark is familiar.
At Big 12 Media Days, two weeks after USC and UCLA announced their move to the Big Ten Conference in 2024, Yomark was asked about the possibility of adding a team from the Pac-12 conference.
“As mentioned in the opening comment, we are exploring all options,” Yomark said Wednesday. “And we’re open to business, and the options are good, and we’re scrutinizing them all. It’s an exaggeration to say that I’ve received a lot of calls and a lot of interest. No. We are investigating those levels Interesting. There is nothing imminent. “
Following news from Los Angeles, Pac-12 also said they were about to expand.

“The Pac-12 Board of Directors met this morning and approved the meeting to consider all expansion options,” Pac-12 said on Twitter. “The 10 university presidents and prime ministers continue to work on their common mission of academic and athletic excellence on behalf of our student athletes.”
College athletics is moving towards hosting two super conferences at the SEC and Big Ten, with Texas and Oklahoma moving from the Big 12 to the SEC in 2025. With the addition of USC and UCLA to Big Ten, the outlook for a college football school has changed. Try to position yourself to move forward.

“I can roughly say, I’m a supporter of NIL,” Yorkerc. I told reporters on Wednesday.. “I got my feet wet to some extent with Roc Nation, who was involved in NIL. From a personal point of view. [I] We haven’t really talked about it to our key stakeholders. I think you need a guardrail. Perhaps you need uniformity. And maybe the conference needs to play a bigger role in the appearance of NIL moving forward. “
Yomark will take over his duties as the Big 12 Commissioner on August 1st.
