It was the major story in Big 12 Country on Tuesday as Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellinger broke the story that Roc Nation COO Brett Yormark is the primary candidate to be the next Big 12 Commissioner. What to think?

Multiple reports starting with Sports Illustrated have the Big 12 negotiating with Brett Yormark of Roc Nation as the new Big 12 Commissioner to be presented at the Big 12 Football Media Days.

I don't know what rock that Jon Rothstein has been under but the Big 12 has been planning on a 14-team conference in 2023-24. The thought of that not happening was more on OU and Texas bolting early for the SEC and not the arrival of Cinciny, UCF, and Houston.

The Big 12 is looking for a new commissioner to replace Bob Bowlsby. We hear that the thinking on the hire will be outside the box.
