Big 12 Conference commissioner Brett Yormark is leaving his position to accept a role outside of college athletics, the conference announced Friday. Yormark, who has led the Big 12 since 2022, recently appeared at the conference's basketball media days on October 20.
The move marks a significant transition for the Power Four conference, which has undergone substantial membership changes during Yormark's tenure, including the additions of Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah. Details regarding Yormark's new position and the timeline for his departure were not immediately disclosed.
The Big 12's board of directors is expected to begin the search for a successor in the coming weeks.
