The Big 12 officially welcomed four new teams to the conference on Saturday, adding UCF, Houston, Cincinnati and BYU. The conference will play with 14 teams next year.
Yormark said Thursday he would ideally like to keep the conference at 14 teams but would be OK with 12.
A flag displaying the Cincinnati Bearcats and Big 12 logos is shown during the game between Murray State and Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium on September 11, 2021, in Cincinnati."I do think there’s strength in numbers, but if we end up being at 12, that’s great," Yormark said during an interview on"BYU Sports Nation.""I’d like to stay at 14, even with the departures of Texas and Oklahoma, candidly. We’ll see if that’s a possibility or not, but I love 12.
"We’re not chasing a number. Again, whatever happens has to truly create value for the conference and fit within those guiding principles with respect to how we’re thinking about expansion. But it’s not so much a number that we’re thinking about. It’s really about that fit, and I think that’s critically important."
Houston, Cincinnati, BYU and UCF join the conference nearly two years after Big 12 presidents voted to expand the league.
