“I realized it is not about chasing a number. ... We will see where that takes us,” commissioner Brett Yormark said at Big12 media days.

“I realized it is not about chasing a number. ... We will see where that takes us,” commissioner Brett Yormark said at Big 12 media days.

Nearly a year into Yormark’s time in the commissioner’s seat, expansion remains the main topic swirling around the Big 12. As long as the Pac-12 still doesn’t have a media rights deal, and the main candidates for expansion remain in limbo, it likely will remain the biggest topic for Yormark for the foreseeable future.

“We have a plan for expansion. And I’m not going to really address it today,” Yormark said. “You can ask me, but I’m not really going to address it. We do have a plan. And hopefully we can execute that plan sooner than later. But as I’ve always said, I love the composition of this conference right now. The excitement the four new members have brought to this conference has been incredible.”

“We are the only [Power Five] conference that Is in three [time zones]. If we went to four, obviously it makes us a little bit more national,” Yormark said. “In that regard it offers different windows to our TV partners. Different windows than we can offer them today. So I guess it would be a positive if it was the right fit.”
