The Big 12 Conference approved a three-year contract extension for commissioner Brett Yormark on Tuesday.

The league’s board of directors voted to extend his original five-year deal, which was set to expire in 2027, through the 2029-30 academic year.

Yormark, 58, succeeded Bob Bowlsby in 2022. He helped the Big 12 navigate a national realignment of the conference landscape and boost its membership to coincide with the departures of Texas and Oklahoma to the Southeastern Conference.

“Brett’s strategic thinking and creative initiatives have been vital to the Big 12’s success, and we look forward to building on this momentum in the years ahead,” board chair and Baylor president Linda Livingstone said.

Yormark landed a new $2.3 billion television deal with ESPN and Fox in 2022 and shepherded the 2024 additions of four former Pac-12 members: Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah. He also oversaw the previously negotiated expansion that brought BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF into the fold in 2023.

“I would like to thank the Board for their continued support,” Yormark said. “We have made great progress over the last three years, and our best days are ahead. I am thrilled to continue to work alongside our member schools as we grow and strengthen the Big 12 into a Conference that is innovative and prepared for what the future may hold.”

Yormark was the CEO of Jay-Z’s entertainment company Roc Nation before taking over the Big 12.

Cuiabano marca nos acréscimos e Botafogo arranca vitória contra o Carabobo na Libertadores

O Botafogo passa sufoco sob o comando de Renato Paiva, e viveu hoje uma de suas noites mais angustiantes.
