Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark says the future of the conference is bright. The league enters a transition year which features new members Central Florida, Cincinatti, BYU and Houston and the final year before Texas and Oklahoma leave for the SEC.

Yormark made his comment at Big 12 Football Media Days in Dallas. It was a year ago that Yormark said the league was “open for business.”

A year ago TCU made a run to the national championship game and Yormark feels the Big 12 is poised for more success.

The league also announced it has extended its agreement with A-T&T Stadium in Dallas to host the Big 12 Championship game through 2030.
