History

Historical Context

The Big 12 Conference expanded in 2012 by adding West Virginia and TCU, following the departure of four schools between 2011 and 2012. This shift led to a lucrative media rights deal worth $2.6 billion, enhancing the conference's visibility and revenue. As of 2025, the Big 12's growth continues to shape college athletics, influencing competitive dynamics and broadcasting partnerships.
