Incoming Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark on expansion: 'The Big 12 is open for business'

Brett Yormark, the incoming commissioner of the Big 12, was introduced as the conference’s fifth commissioner during media day on Wednesday morning.

And he wasted no time letting the college sports world know one thing: “There is no doubt the Big 12 is open for business.”

On the heels of USC and UCLA’s decision to join the Big Ten, Yormark highlighted his vision for the Big 12 that includes the league eyeing additional expansion. Texas and Oklahoma are departing the conference, and it was announced in 2021 that BYU, Cincinnati, Central Florida and Houston would join the Big 12.
