The Big 12 Conference is one of the most competitive and successful conferences in college football, and its commissioner, Mark Yormark, recently confirmed that the league is still committed to its title game despite recent changes to the College Football Playoff (CFP) and the conference itself.
Yormark made the announcement at the Big 12 Media Days in Dallas, where he said that the conference is still committed to its title game and that it will continue to be a part of the CFP. He also noted that the conference is exploring ways to make the title game more meaningful and competitive.
The Big 12 has seen a lot of changes in recent years, including the addition of two new teams (West Virginia and TCU) and the departure of two teams (Texas A&M and Missouri). These changes have had an impact on the conference’s overall competitiveness, but Yormark believes that the title game will still be an important part of the Big 12’s identity.
Yormark also noted that the Big 12 is exploring ways to make the title game more competitive and meaningful. He said that the conference is looking into ways to reward teams for their regular season success, such as awarding automatic bids to the title game or giving teams a higher seed in the CFP rankings.
The Big 12 has always been one of the most competitive conferences in college football, and Yormark’s commitment to keeping the title game in place shows that the conference is still committed to its long-standing tradition. With the CFP expanding and the Big 12 making changes, it will be interesting to see how the conference continues to evolve in the coming years.
