Big 12 Conference

• In addition to the above, UCF lists its coeducational cheerleading and all-female dance teams as varsity teams on its official athletic website.

History

The Big 12 Conference was founded in February 1994. All eight members of the former Big Eight Conference joined with half the members of the former Southwest Conference (Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor and Texas Tech) to form the conference, with play beginning in 1996.^[3]

The Big 12 does not claim the Big Eight's history as its own, even though it was essentially the Big Eight plus the four Texas universities.

The Big 12 began athletic play in fall 1996, with the Texas Tech vs. Kansas State football game being the first-ever sports event staged by the conference.

From its formation until 2011, its 12 members competed in two divisions in most sports. The two Oklahoma universities and the four Texas universities formed the South Division, while the other six universities of the former Big Eight formed the North Division.

Between 2011 and 2012 four charter members left the conference:

• Colorado
• Missouri
• Nebraska
• Texas A&M

In 2012, two universities joined the conference:

• TCU
• West Virginia

On July 26, 2021, Oklahoma and Texas notified the Big 12 Conference that the two universities do not wish to extend their grant of television rights beyond the 2024–25 athletic year.^[20][21] On July 27, 2021, Oklahoma and Texas sent a joint letter to the Southeastern Conference requesting an invitation for membership beginning July 1, 2025.^[22][23] On July 29, 2021, the 14 presidents and chancellors of SEC member universities voted unanimously to invite Oklahoma and Texas to join the SEC.^[24] The following day, the Texas Board of Regents and Oklahoma Board of Regents each accepted the invitation to join the SEC from July 1, 2025.^[8]

On September 10, 2021, the Big 12 announced that invitations had been extended to and accepted by BYU (a football independent and member of the non-football West Coast Conference) and three members of the American Athletic Conference in Cincinnati, UCF, and Houston. These moves, combined with the impending departure of Oklahoma and Texas, would once again increase the Big 12's membership to twelve schools.^[25] All four schools began competing in Big 12 athletics beginning in summer of 2023. BYU had initially announced that it would join in 2023,^[26] and Houston indicated it could do so as well.^[27] On June 10, 2022, The American and its three departing members announced a buyout agreement that allowed those schools to join the Big 12 in 2023.^[28]

On February 9, 2023, Oklahoma and Texas announced they had reached a settlement with the conference that allowed them to join the SEC on July 1, 2024.^[29]

On July 27, 2023, Colorado, a former member of the Big 12, announced it would rejoin the conference from the Pac-12 beginning in the 2024–25 academic year. The following week, Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah announced they will leave the Pac-12 for the Big 12, also effective for the 2024–25 academic year.

Population base and markets

The Big 12 is currently the only

The largest media markets represented by the Big 12 are, ranked nationally:

• Dallas-Fort Worth (5th)
• Houston (7th)
• Orlando (17th)
• Salt Lake City (29th)
• San Antonio (31st)
• Kansas City (33rd)
• Austin (35th)
• Cincinnati (36th)
• Oklahoma City (46th)
• Tulsa (62nd)
• Des Moines (68th)
• Wichita (70th)

Although West Virginia University is based out of Morgantown, West Virginia (officially part of the Pittsburgh (26th) media market), the TV market encompasses the majority of West Virginia's TV viewership and also reaches well into Western Pennsylvania.

Kansas State University is in Manhattan, Kansas, which is part of the Topeka, Kansas media market, but it is close to the Wichita market, which encompasses two-thirds of the state (stretching to the border with Colorado), including the cities of Dodge City, Garden City, Hutchinson and Salina.

While the University of Kansas is in Lawrence, Kansas, it has close proximity to the Kansas City television market, increasing the base into western Missouri.

When the Four Corners schools (Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Utah) join in 2024, the conference will:

• Add Phoenix (11th)
• Add Denver (16th)
• Add Tucson (64th)
• Further cement its hold on the Salt Lake City market, with the University of Utah being located in that city.

Grant of Rights

Member universities granted their first and second tier sports media rights to the conference for the length of their current TV deals. The Grant of Rights (GOR) deal with the leagues' TV contracts ensures that "if a Big 12 school leaves for another league in the next 13 years, that school's media rights, including revenue, would remain with the Big 12 and not its new conference".^[31]

GOR is seen by league members as a "foundation of stability" and allowed the Big 12 to be "positioned with one of the best media rights arrangements in collegiate sports, providing the conference and its members unprecedented revenue growth, and sports programming over two networks." All members agreed to the GOR and later agreed to extend the initial 6-year deal to 13 years to correspond to the length of their TV contracts.^[32]

Prior to this agreement, the Big Ten and Pac-12 also had similar GOR agreements.^[33] The Big 12 subsequently assisted the ACC in drafting its GOR agreement.^[34] Four of the five major conferences now have such agreements, with the SEC the only exception.

Tier 3 events

The Big 12 is the only major conference that allows members to monetize TV rights for tier 3 events in football and men's basketball.^[35] This allows individual Big 12 member institutions to create tier 3 deals that include TV rights for one home football game and four home men's basketball games per season. Tier 3 rights exist for other sports as well, but these are not unique to the Big 12. The unique arrangement potentially allows Big 12 members to remain some of college sports' highest revenue earners. Other conferences' cable deals are subject to value reductions based on how people acquire cable programming; Big 12 universities' tier 3 deals are exempt.^[36] Texas alone will earn more than $150 million of that total from their Longhorn Network.^[37]

As of 2022, all of the Big 12's tier 3 rights are held by ESPN; the network operates a joint venture with Learfield and the Texas Longhorns known as Longhorn Network, and ESPN bought the tier 3 rights to most Big 12 teams (besides Oklahoma) in 2019, moving the events exclusively to ESPN+.^[38] The Oklahoma Sooners retained an agreement with Bally Sports Oklahoma (which distributed its football game via pay-per-view) until 2022, when it also sold its rights to ESPN+.^[39][40]

Business partnerships and innovation

The Big 12 has a sponsorship rights partnership with

The Big 12 partnered with creative agency Translation to help build a more contemporary audience and brand.[44] Soon after Big 12 Conference made a deal with A Bathing Ape (BAPE) for Championship games. The Conference and BAPE worked together to create limited-edition clothing and a camouflaged Big 12 logo throughout the stadium, arena, and uniforms.

The Big 12 has 11 official corporate partners: Allstate, Children’s Health, Dr Pepper, Gatorade, Grand Caliber, Old Trapper, On Location, Phillips 66, Sonic Hard Seltzer, Sprouts Farmers Market, and Tickets For Less. There are dozens of other companies engaged as sponsors of the conference.^[45]

Conference Pro Day

On March 15, 2023, before the

In March, the Big 12 Conference announced a partnership with the legendary Rucker Park for a community engagement event. In June the event was officially announced as "Big 12 Hoops in the Park”, to host men’s and women’s summer exhibition games. Throughout the event, the Big 12 is also preparing a number of entertainment activities and community engagements. The activities include youth clinics, meet-and-greets, live music, and food.^[47]

Mexico

Early June 2023, the "Big 12 Mexico" was announced, which will include men's and women’s soccer, baseball, basketball, and football games and an international media rights strategy. The Big 12 Mexico will debut in December 2024 with men's and women's basketball games between Kansas and Houston at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City. The Big 12 will also consider hosting a football bowl game in Monterrey beginning in 2026. This would be the first-ever bowl game in Mexico.^[48]

Conference annual revenue distribution

Conference revenue comes mostly from television contracts,

With this model, larger universities can receive more revenue because they appear more often on television. In 2006, for example, Texas received $10.2 million, 44% more than Baylor University's $7.1 million.[63]

Big 12 revenue was generally less than other

In 2011, the Big 12 announced a new 13-year media rights deal with Fox that would ensure that every Big 12 home football game is televised, as well as greatly increasing coverage of women's basketball, conference championships and other sports.[65] The deal, valued at an estimated $1.1 billion, runs until 2025.^[66] In 2012, the conference announced a new agreement with Fox and ESPN, replacing the current ABC/ESPN deal, to immediately increase national media broadcasts of football and increase conference revenue;^[67] the new deal was estimated to be worth $2.6 billion through the 2025 expiration.^[68] The two deals pushed the conference per-university payout to approximately $20 million per year, while separating third-tier media rights into separate deals for each university; such contracts secured an additional $6 million to $20 million per university annually.^[69] The per-university payout under the deal is expected to reach $44 million, according to Commissioner Bob Bowlsby.^[70]

In 2022, the conference renewed its media rights with ESPN and Fox Sports for six seasons starting in 2025–26, with an estimated US$380 million average annual fee.^[71]

Athletic department revenue by school

Total revenue includes ticket sales, contributions and donations, rights and licensing, student fees, school funds and all other sources including TV income, camp income, concessions, and novelties.

Total expenses includes coach and staff salaries, scholarships, buildings and grounds, maintenance, utilities and rental fees, recruiting, team travel, equipment and uniforms, conference dues, and insurance.

National championships

The following is a list of all NCAA, equestrian, and college football championships won by teams that were representing the Big 12 Conference in NCAA-recognized sports at the time of their championship.^[108] The most recent Big 12 team to win a national title is TCU men’s tennis in 2024, along with being the most recent team to win a national title while representing the Big 12. Only two years of the Big 12's existence has the conference not won at least one team National Title, 2007 and 2020. However, in 2020 multiple National Championships were not awarded due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

One former member of the conference did not win a National Championship while a member of the Big 12, Missouri. Original members Kansas State and Iowa State have not won a championship while representing the Big 12. The only national championships won by 2012 arrivals TCU and West Virginia since joining the Big 12 have been in rifle, a sport that the conference has never sponsored. Houston, BYU, UCF, and Cincinnati have not won a championship in the Big 12, however, the schools joined the conference in the 2023–24 school year.

Men's gymnastics has the most overall championships with 9, while men's golf and women's outdoor track have had the most different schools win a championship with 4.

Football

Main article: Big 12 Conference football

The first football game in conference play was Texas Tech vs. Kansas State in 1996, won by Kansas State, 21–14.^[113]

From 1996 to 2010, Big 12 Conference teams played eight conference games a season. Each team faced all five opponents within its own division and three teams from the opposite division. Inter-divisional play was a "three-on, three-off" system, where teams would play three teams from the other division on a home-and-home basis for two seasons, and then play the other three foes from the opposite side for a two-year home-and-home.^[114]

This format came under considerable criticism, especially from Nebraska and Oklahoma, who were denied a yearly match between two of college football's most storied programs.^[

Nebraska-Oklahoma rivalry was one of the most intense in college football history.^{[citation needed]} (Until 2006, the teams had never met in the Big 12 Championship.) Due to the departure of Nebraska and Colorado in 2011, the Big 12 eliminated the divisions (and championship game) and instituted a nine-game round-robin format.^{[citation needed]} With the advent of the College Football Playoff committee looking at teams' strength of schedule for picking the four playoff teams, on December 8, 2015, the Big 12 announced an annual requirement for all Big 12 teams to schedule a non-conference game against a team from the four other Power Five conferences (plus Notre Dame).^[115] Per Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby: "Schedule strength is a key component in CFP Selection Committee deliberations. This move will strengthen the resumes for all Big 12 teams. Coupled with the nine-game full round robin Conference schedule our teams play, it will not only benefit the teams at the top of our standings each season, but will impact the overall strength of the Conference."^[115] The Big 12 has made it to the Playoffs 6 times from 2014-2023. Three Big 12 participants have made it to the playoff: Oklahoma in 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2019; Texas in 2023; and TCU

in 2022.

Championship game

Main article: Big 12 Championship Game

The Big 12 Championship Game game was approved by all members except Nebraska.^[116] It was held each year, commencing with the first match in the 1996 season at the Trans World Dome in St. Louis. It pitted the division champions against each other after the regular season was completed.

Following the 2008 game, the event was moved to the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, being played there in 2009 and 2010. In 2010, the Sooners defeated the Cornhuskers 23–20.^[117]

After 2010, the game was moved to Arlington for 2011, 2012, and 2013.^[118] However, the decision became moot following the 2010 season because the league lacked sufficient members.^[119]

In April 2015, the ACC and the Big 12 developed new rules for the NCAA to deregulate conference championship games. The measure passed on January 14, 2016, allowing a conference with fewer than 12 teams to stage a championship game that does not count against the FBS limit of 12 regular-season games under either of the following circumstances:

• The game involves the top two teams following a full round-robin conference schedule.
• The game involves two divisional winners, each having played a full round-robin schedule in its division.

Under the first criterion, the Big 12 championship game resumed at the conclusion of the 2017 regular season, and is played during the first weekend of December, the time all other FBS conference championship games are played.

Bowl affiliations

The following were bowl games for the Big 12 for the 2022 season.

Pick	Name[120]	Location	Opposing conference
–	College Football Playoff	–	–
1	Sugar Bowl†	New Orleans, Louisiana	SEC
2	Alamo Bowl	San Antonio, Texas	Pac-12
3	Cheez-It Bowl	Orlando, Florida	ACC
4	Texas Bowl	Houston, Texas	SEC
5	Liberty Bowl	Memphis, Tennessee	SEC
6	Guaranteed Rate Bowl	Phoenix, Arizona	Big Ten
7‡	Armed Forces Bowl	Fort Worth, Texas	AAC/C-USA
7‡	First Responder Bowl	Dallas, Texas	AAC/ACC/C-USA
†The Big 12 champion will go to the Sugar Bowl unless selected for the College Football Playoff. In the event that the conference champion is selected for the playoff, the conference runner-up will go to the Sugar Bowl. In years in which the Sugar Bowl is a CFP semifinal, the Big 12 champion (runner-up if the champion is selected for the CFP) is slotted to the Cotton, Fiesta or Peach Bowls. ‡The seventh selection is a "flex pick."

Rivalries

The Big 12 is known for rivalries (primarily in football) that mostly predate the conference. The Kansas-Missouri rivalry was the longest running, the longest west of the Mississippi, and the second longest in college football, dating back to the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association before evolving into the Big Eight. It was played 119 times before Missouri left the Big 12. As of October 2012, the University of Kansas' athletic department had not accepted Missouri's invitations to play inter-conference rivalry games, putting the rivalry on hold. Sports clubs sponsored by the two universities continued to play each other.^[121] Kansas and Missouri renewed the rivalry in men's basketball starting in December 2021, and have announced that they will meet again in football in 2025.

The rivalry between TCU and Baylor, known as the Revivalry is also one of the longest running in college football, with the two universities having played each other — largely as Southwest Conference members — 114 times since 1899. Following the 2022 game, TCU leads the series 58–53–7.

The Oklahoma–Texas rivalry, the

Red River Showdown

is one year younger and has been played 108 times. This was a major rivalry decades before they were both in the conference, starting the year after the Revivalry in 1900. Following the 2022 game, Texas leads this rivalry 63–50–5.

Oklahoma State (#39 wins), and Kansas State (#42 wins). Future members Utah and Arizona are respectively #15 and #19 in wins, and #23 and #11 in percentage. Kansas, Cincinnati, Houston, and Oklahoma State all are in the top 10 for most Final Four appearances (including ties for 10th).^[123]

From 1996 to 2011, standings in conference play were not split among divisions, although the schedule was structured as if they were. Teams played a home-and-home against teams within their divisions and a single game against teams from the opposite division for a total of 16 conference games. After Nebraska and Colorado left, Big 12 play transitioned to an 18-game, double round robin schedule.[124]

Big 12 basketball teams currently play a "home and away" double round robin 18-game schedule, expanded from 16 games after the 2011 realignment. All teams in the conference qualify for the Big 12 tournament. From 1996–97 to 2010–11, teams played in-division members twice and non-division members only once. The conference tournament gave first round byes to the top four teams from 1997 through 2011, and the top six teams from 2012 onwards. When the conference temporarily expands to 14 members for the 2023–24 season, the 18-game schedule will remain, but the double round-robin will be discontinued in favor of a new scheduling formula.^[125]

Kansas has the most Big 12 titles, winning or sharing the regular-season title 20 times in the league's 25 seasons, including 14 straight from 2004–05 to 2017–18. The 2002 Jayhawks became the first, and so far only, team to complete an undefeated Big 12 regular season, going 16–0. Though rematches between Big 12 regular season co-champions have happened in that year's Big 12 tournament, none have met in the ensuing NCAA Tournament.

Big 12 Baseball Tournament

All current and future Big 12 members sponsor baseball except Iowa State, which dropped the sport after the 2001 season, and returning member Colorado, which never sponsored baseball during its first conference tenure and still does not sponsor the sport. All other former Big 12 members sponsored the sport throughout their tenures in the conference.^[131]

Broadcasting and media rights

The Big 12's media rights are controlled primarily by

CBS Sports. The agreement also included a grant of rights for all current Big 12 teams over the period of the contract.^[132]

In addition to the national agreement, each Big 12 university maintained the right to sell its "third-tier" covering selected events per-season (including one football game, basketball games, and other events outside of those sports). The third-tier rights to the Texas Longhorns are held through a channel dedicated to the team — Longhorn Network — which is operated by ESPN. In 2019, ESPN announced that it would acquire the third-tier rights to all Big 12 teams through 2024-25 (excluding Oklahoma and Texas, which are still under long-term contracts with ESPN+ and Longhorn Network respectively), and place their content on its subscription streaming service ESPN+. ESPN also acquired exclusive rights to all future Big 12 football championship games, replacing the previous alternation between ESPN and Fox.^[133]

2025 Extension deal

On October 30, 2022, the Big 12 announced that it had reached early broadcast deal to renew rights with ESPN network (includes ABC rights) and Fox, The contract was a six-year media rights agreement worth a total of $2.3 billion, but also reportedly includes an "escalator clause" that will raise the value of the contracts if only Power Five schools are added. By striking a deal prior to the exclusive negotiating window with ESPN and Fox, the Big 12 managed to achieve several of its primary objectives of stability and security, including the ability to go back to its 12 member schools to seek an extended grant of rights and potential future conference expansion. Fox’s deal also provides a slate of Big 12 college basketball games on Fox Sports for the first time.^[134]
