Big 12 eyeing Roc Nation’s COO Brett Yormark as next commissioner

The Big 12 is eyeing Roc Nation’s COO Brett Yormark to replace Bob Bowlsby as the new commissioner. Per Bruce Feldman who reported it yesterday Yormark who works with Jay-Z would be fresh blood for the conference who is welcoming new programs to the fold in 2023. Somebody with Yormark’s experience seems to be a good lead for a conference that will be renewing its media deal in 2025.

Heard Brett Yormark wowed people in the interview process for the Big 12 commissioner job; was very impressive as a big ideas guy with non-stop energy and a rolodex like no other in terms of his connections.
