I have a feeling that the Big 12 Conference will be doing great things in the next 2-4 years. Yormark clearly has the "it" factor. 10 years from now I won't be surprised one bit the gap between the Big 10 Conference and SEC conference closes greatly with the Big 12 Conference. Future looks very bright in the Big 12.

I'll give Brett credit, he sure is a good salesman.

As an Oklahoma State fan, this conference shouldve died. We should've been begging the Pac-12 to give us a chance. Instead, the Pac-12 is dead, and the ACC is on the brink of disaster. SEC and B1G fans may hate the Big 12 and look down on Big 12 fans, but everyone needs to admit the Big 12 is the most resilient conference around. Dont agree? Tell me where the Pac-12 or Big East footbaal are right now. Brett Yormark has done a phenomenal job.

[@Schlub14]

Absolutely agree, he’s been a godsend for the conference.

[@GoatedAtNFS]

why would you wanna go to the Pac-12?

[@joserangel7408]

Not in the present, but when OU and Texas left the BigXII, the BigXII was in a weakened state, and the PAC was in a position of leverage. It is no secret that the remaining teams of the BigXII reached out to the PAC to join, and the PAC declined. Fast forward today, the BigXII still exists, and the PAC is essentially non-existent. ​It could have easily been the other way around, but the PAC had bad leadership and the BigXII benefitted from it. @GoatedAtNFS

Why would they hate big 12?

[@ryann3391]

The most entertaining conference for sure

[@varrick1226]

Thank God for BY a true leader and innovator. It will be difficult to beat the Big 10 with their history or the success of the SEC but with BY the Big 12 is in the hunt.

I love how there is really nothing off the table with this guy.

[@thomasruge]

Las Vegas is the sports capital of the world?

[@Kromosz]

I think he probably means from a betting sense. Everytime sports media talks about who’s favored to win what, they refer to Vegas.

My team is in the SEC, but I will say Yormark doesn't come off as arrogant and cocky as Sanky does every time he opens his mouth.

[@lukebart920]

Make your first your best! That game is gonna be rocking!

[@nateg4582]

Bet he'll add San Diego State and USF.

[@jimmybuckets7832]

Big 12 should only add ACC schools at this point

[@JoshuaJohnsOfficalChannel]

ya

[@brandonh5360]

Really think we should pan ahead and expand once again with USF and Memphis. Possibly UConn as well. It would be the death blow to the ACC by taking their Top 3 expansion targets. Play the long game

[@petewilcox3354]

Glad you aint in charge...thats horrible idea

[@JoshuaJohnsOfficalChannel]

WHY DOES HE SOUND LIKE JOHN CENA😭

[@followword6452]

They should have kept Nebraska, Missouri,A&M, Oklahoma, Texas.

[@DaleThornton-cp3hc]

If Texas had left earlier, the rest of them would not have left.

He wasn't in the Big12 to have any effect on that.

[@joeinge4808]

He is unqualified for the position. He showed blatant hostility and favoritism for certain teams. He is a disgrace and deserved the booing he received at the conference title game

[@NASAghostgang]

He's more qualified than all of current college commissioners sports business wise. If he was on the other side, you'd be praising him.

He is actually over qualified

@@joeinge4808 some people dont like the fact he wont bend the knee to the supposed P2. But, if you honestly feel like what he has accomplished throughout his highly successful career as steward over various sports and media properties makes him unfit, have at it.

Didn't Texas leave well before Yormark came on board!

[@ariankarimi952]

You were a traitor to your own in the former Great SWC, then you backstabbed us in the big 8/12. Now you will meet your end in the post prime SEC.

[@charliepiazza7533]

Brett wasn't even commissioner when Texas decided to leave lol

[@CarlaJenkinsTV]

I'm an OSU Buckeye fan; but, isn't the Big 12 the 'garbage dump' you and OU created by not winning playoff games then traded on your brand names to get into the SEC? I cannot relate because OSU didn't fail the Big 10 the way you and OU failed the Big 12.

[@rx2878]

Overrated Poverty Commissioner.

[@DKOBSpeaks]

Garbage comment👆

[@HawaiianBro808]

You wouldn't be saying that if he your favorite conference commissioner. He has a better track record in sports than Pettiti in the Big 10 and a more diverse background than SEC's Sankey. The only difference is Yormark wasn't handed a silver platter like them and given credit for sh*t other commissioners did before them.

[@petewilcox3354]

A chipmunk could manage the sec or b1g...what he is doing, and will do takes talent.
