Big 12 Conference Commissioner Brett Yormark is set to leave his position, according to a report from the Houston Chronicle. Yormark, who has led the conference since 2022, was photographed speaking at the Big 12 NCAA college football media days in Frisco, Texas, on July 8, 2025.
The departure marks a significant leadership change for the Power Four conference, which has undergone substantial membership changes in recent years with the additions of BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, and Houston in 2023, followed by Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah in 2024.
No immediate successor was announced. Yormark's tenure included navigating the conference through a period of major realignment and negotiating media rights agreements.
