Foreign football: College football has scarcely gone international, but Big 12 could change that

The Big 12 is expanding its brand beyond the U.S. borders.

Could OSU ever play a football game internationally?

It’s a possibility in the not-so-far-off future, with the Big 12 announcing plans earlier this month for Kansas and Houston men’s and women’s basketball programs to play in Mexico City in December 2024. The conference is also exploring a bowl game in Monterrey starting in 2026.

The initiative is aptly named Big 12 Mexico.

"Mexico is a natural extension to the Big 12 footprint, and I'm thrilled to introduce Big 12 Mexico as the conference's first-ever international presence," Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark said in a statement.
