Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark says his conference is done expanding, shutting down the possibility of adding UConn and Gonzaga after engaging with both basketball powers on potential membership.
Less than two weeks after the Big 12 announced Pac-12 schools Arizona, Arizona State Colorado and Utah will switch leagues and join the conference next year, Yormark appeared on the “Marchand and Ourand Sports Media Podcast” and revealed other potential moves.
Gonzaga, which plays in the West Coast Conference, has been one of the dominant men’s basketball programs for about two decades. “We feel now — being in 10 states, having over 90 million people in our footprint, being in four time zones — gives the Big 12 a chance to do some amazing things when we get back into that next TV negotiation,” Yormark said on the podcast. “So the No. 1 guiding principle for us was value creation, and it will always be that as we think about expansion or, for that matter, anything else we do.”
That move undercut the Pac-12 and its commissioner, George Kliavkoff, and left the conference unable to land a competitive deal. That subsequently led to six of its schools bailing for other leagues, including Oregon and Washington to the Big Ten next year.
