Brett Yormark stepping down as Big 12 commissioner, will remain with league through January 2027

Big 12 leader Brett Yormark is planning to step away from his post to pursue an opportunity outside of the collegiate sports landscape. The organization announced that he will maintain his current responsibilities through the end of January in 2027.

During his tenure, which began when he joined the conference from a background at Roc Nation in 2022, he successfully steered the organization through a turbulent wave of athletic realignment. His administration oversaw the integration of eight incoming academic institutions alongside the negotiation of a critical media rights agreement.
