ESPN first reported that the board of directors had extended his original five-year deal, which was set to expire in 2027.
Yormark, 58, succeeded Bob Bowlsby in 2022. He helped the Big 12 navigate a national realignment of the conference landscape and boost its membership to coincide with the departures of Texas and Oklahoma to the Southeastern Conference.
Yormark landed a new $2.3 billion television deal with ESPN and Fox in 2022 and shepherded the 2024 additions of four former Pac-12 members: Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah. He also oversaw the previously negotiated expansion that brought BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF into the fold in 2023.
Yormark was the CEO of Jay-Z's entertainment company Roc Nation before taking over the Big 12.
