Almost a year ago to the day, Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark said he was no longer in discussions with either UConn orFast forward to the present day, Yormark is set to present a plan to the league’s presidents that would include adding the Huskies to the conference in all sports, except football, starting in 2026.
The move makes sense from a basketball standpoint. Yormark wants to make the Big 12 the best conference in the country for hoops and the Huskies are at the top of the sport as the back-to-back national champions. Yormark’s desire to expand the league, negotiate its naming rights to sponsors and explore private equity investments has all been to help secure the league’s financial stability for the future as the NCAA prepares to pay out billions of dollars to thousands of current and former student-athletes for the next 10 years.
