A few hours ago, the Big 12 Conference announced a three-year contract extension for Commissioner Brett Yormark, securing his leadership through 2030. Yormark stepped into the role in August 2022 and has since been a key figure in seeing the Big 12 through a turbulent time.

The Big 12 board of directors has agreed to a contract extension for conference commissioner Brett Yormark, sources briefed confirmed to The Athletic on Tuesday. The three-year extension will run through 2030 and extends the original five-year contract Yormark signed when he was hired by the Big 12 in 2022.

It appears that after rumors circulated about Brett Yormark possibly returning to the NBA, he will remain in the Big 12 with a three-year extension.
