The '''Big 12 Conference''' (stylized '''XII''') is a collegiate [[List of NCAA conferences|athletic conference]] in the United States. It consists of 16 full-member universities (3 private universities and 13 public universities) in the states of [[Arizona]], [[Colorado]], [[Florida]], [[Iowa]], [[Kansas]], [[Ohio]], [[Oklahoma]], [[Texas]], [[Utah]], and [[West Virginia]]. It is headquartered in [[Irving, Texas]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=2025-26 Big 12 Conference Staff Directory |url=http://big12sports.com/sports/2022/9/14/Big12Staff.aspx |access-date=2025-10-16 |website=big12sports.com |language=en}}</ref>

The Big 12 is a member of the [[NCAA Division I|Division I]] of the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association]] (NCAA) for all sports. Its [[College football|football]] teams compete in the [[NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision|Football Bowl Subdivision]] (FBS; formerly Division I-A), the higher of two levels of NCAA Division I football competition.

The Big 12 is one of the [[Power conferences|Power Four conferences]], the four highest-earning and most historically successful FBS football conferences. Power Four conferences are guaranteed at least one bid to a [[New Year's Six]] bowl game and have been granted exemptions from certain NCAA rules.

The Big 12 is a [[501(c)(3)]] [[nonprofit organization]].<ref>"[https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/pub78Search.do?ein1=75-2604555&names=&city=&state=All...&country=US&deductibility=all&dispatchMethod=searchCharities&submitName=Search Big Twelve Conference Inc]".

The Big 12 was founded in February 1994. All eight members of the former [[Big Eight Conference]] joined with half the members of the former [[Southwest Conference]] ([[Baylor University|Baylor]], [[University of Texas at Austin|Texas]], [[Texas A&M University|Texas A&M]], and [[Texas Tech University|Texas Tech]]) to form the conference, with play beginning in 1996.<ref name="si.com">{{cite magazine|title='Everybody's looking for TV sets': The oral history of the formation of the Big 12 Conference|url=https://www.si.com/college-football/2016/08/16/big-12-expansion-oral-history-big-8-swc-merger|magazine=Sports Illustrated|access-date=June 30, 2017|date=August 12, 2016|quote=When the Southwest Conference busted and the major four came to the Big Eight ...}}<br />- {{cite news|title=Texas Giants Merge With Big 8|agency=Associated Press|date=February 27, 1994|access-date=1 July 2017|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=1zkwAAAAIBAJ&pg=5906,3123357&dq=big+8+southwest+conference&hl=en|quote=Texas and Texas Tech voted...to...join the Big Eight.}}</ref>

In 2011, [[Colorado Buffaloes|Colorado]] and [[Nebraska Cornhuskers|Nebraska]] left the conference to join the [[Pac-12 Conference|Pac-12]] and [[Big Ten Conference|Big Ten]], respectively. One year later, [[Missouri Tigers|Missouri]] and [[Texas A&M Aggies|Texas A&M]] departed for the [[Southeastern Conference]], and [[TCU Horned Frogs|TCU]] and [[West Virginia Mountaineers|West Virginia]] joined.

=== Men's sponsored sports by university ===
Below are the men's sports sponsored by each member institution.

The only men's sports with full participation by the entire conference are basketball, football, and golf. Swimming and diving has the lowest participation with only seven universities fielding a team.<!--The NCAA considers swimming and diving to be a single sport, thus the singular verb.-->

The Big 12 fields 14 teams for wrestling. Before the conference's 2023 expansion, it had the most competing schools of any Big 12 sport, with 13 members at that time. The 2022–23 and 2024–25 wrestling lineups both included only 4 full conference members; all remaining wrestling schools were affiliate members (listed as a footnote at the bottom of the table).

== History ==
{{Main|History of the Big 12 Conference}}
{{See also|2010–2013 Big 12 Conference realignment}}

The Big 12 Conference was founded in February 1994. All eight members of the former [[Big Eight Conference]] joined with half the members of the former [[Southwest Conference]] ([[University of Texas at Austin|Texas]], [[Texas A&M University|Texas A&M]], [[Baylor University|Baylor]] and [[Texas Tech University|Texas Tech]]) to form the conference, with play beginning in 1996.<ref name="si.com"/>

The Big 12 does not claim the Big Eight's history as its own, even though it was essentially the Big Eight plus four of the Texas universities.

The Big 12 began athletic play in fall 1996, with the Texas Tech vs. Kansas State football game being the first-ever sports event staged by the conference.

From its formation until 2011, its 12 members competed in two divisions in most sports. The two Oklahoma universities and the four Texas universities formed the South Division, while the other six universities of the former Big Eight formed the North Division.

Between 2011 and 2012 four charter members left the conference:
* [[University of Colorado Boulder|Colorado]]
* [[University of Missouri|Missouri]]
* [[University of Nebraska–Lincoln|Nebraska]]
* [[Texas A&M University|Texas A&M]]

In 2012, two universities joined the conference:
* [[Texas Christian University|TCU]]
* [[University of West Virginia|West Virginia]]

On July 26, 2021, [[University of Oklahoma|Oklahoma]] and [[University of Texas at Austin|Texas]] notified the Big 12 Conference that the two universities did not wish to extend their grant of television rights beyond the 2024–25 athletic year.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kvue.com/article/sports/ncaa/longhorns/ut-big12-austin-sec-letter/269-14947b34-ec4c-48a4-b2d8-2f48c74c7153|first=Paul|last=Livengood|title=Texas sends critical letter to Big 12, showing intent to leave for SEC|work=KVUE|date=July 26, 2021|access-date=July 26, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2021/07/26/big-12-texas-oklahoma-leaving-conference-football/8070337002/|first=Paul|last=Myerberg|title=Texas, Oklahoma leaving Big 12 Conference as college football shake-up begins|work=USA Today|date=July 26, 2021|access-date=July 26, 2021}}</ref> On July 27, 2021, Oklahoma and Texas sent a joint letter to the [[Southeastern Conference]] requesting an invitation for membership beginning July 1, 2025.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/31897367/oklahoma-sooners-texas-longhorns-formally-notify-sec-membership-request|first=Heather|last=Dinich|title=Oklahoma Sooners, Texas Longhorns formally notify SEC of membership request for 2025|work=ESPN|date=July 27, 2021|access-date=July 27, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wfaa.com/article/sports/college/big-12-texas-ou-officially-request-sec-membership-2025-season/287-74b6d9a3-b113-49b4-9747-88c07fbcb7b2|first=Ryan|last=Osborne|title=Texas, OU officially request SEC membership for 2025 season|work=WFAA|date=July 27, 2021|access-date=July 27, 2021}}</ref> On July 29, 2021, the 14 presidents and chancellors of SEC member universities voted unanimously to invite Oklahoma and Texas to join the SEC.<ref name= Dinich>Dinich, Heather (July 29, 2021).

On September 10, 2021, the Big 12 announced that invitations had been extended to and accepted by [[Brigham Young University|BYU]] (a [[NCAA Division I FBS independent schools|football independent]] and member of the non-football [[West Coast Conference]]) and three members of the [[American Athletic Conference]] in [[University of Cincinnati|Cincinnati]], [[University of Central Florida|UCF]], and [[University of Houston|Houston]].

On July 27, 2023, [[University of Colorado Boulder|Colorado]], a former member of the Big 12, announced it would rejoin the conference from the [[Pac-12 Conference|Pac-12]] beginning in the 2024–25 academic year. The following week, [[University of Arizona|Arizona]], [[Arizona State University|Arizona State]], and [[University of Utah|Utah]] announced they would leave the Pac-12 for the Big 12, also effective for the 2024–25 academic year.

== Academics ==

=== Population base and markets ===
The largest [[List of television stations in North America by media market|media markets]] represented by the Big 12 are, ranked nationally:
* [[Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex|Dallas-Fort Worth]] (5th)
* [[Greater Houston|Houston]] (6th)
* [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]] (11th)
* [[Greater Orlando|Orlando]] (16th)
* [[Denver]] (17th)
* [[Salt Lake City]] (27th)
* [[Greater San Antonio|San Antonio]] (31st)
* [[Kansas City metropolitan area|Kansas City]] (34th)
* [[Cincinnati metropolitan area|Cincinnati]] (37th)
* [[Oklahoma City metropolitan area|Oklahoma City]] (47th)
* [[Tulsa metropolitan area|Tulsa]] (62nd)
* [[Tucson, Arizona|Tucson]] (65th)
* [[Des Moines metropolitan area|Des Moines]] (67th)
* [[Wichita metropolitan area, Kansas|Wichita]] (72nd)

Although [[West Virginia University]] is based out of [[Morgantown, West Virginia]] (officially part of the [[Greater Pittsburgh|Pittsburgh]] (26th) media market), the TV market encompasses the majority of West Virginia's TV viewership and also reaches well into [[Western Pennsylvania]].

[[Kansas State University]] is in [[Manhattan, Kansas]], which is part of the [[Topeka, Kansas]] media market, but it is close to the Wichita market, which encompasses two-thirds of the state (stretching to the border with [[Colorado]]), including the cities of [[Dodge City, Kansas|Dodge City]], [[Garden City, Kansas|Garden City]], [[Hutchinson, Kansas|Hutchinson]] and [[Salina, Kansas|Salina]].

While the [[University of Kansas]] is in [[Lawrence, Kansas]], it is officially part of the Kansas City television market, increasing the base into western [[Missouri]].

=== Grant of Rights ===
Member universities granted their first and second tier sports media rights to the conference for the length of their current TV deals. The Grant of Rights (GOR) deal with the leagues' TV contracts ensures that "if a Big 12 school leaves for another league in the next 13 years, that school's media rights, including revenue, would remain with the Big 12 and not its new conference".<ref>{{cite web|last=Ubben|first=David|url=https://www.espn.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/54878/big-12-cements-future-wallets-and-revival|title=Big 12 extends rights deal, cementing future – Big 12 Blog – ESPN|date=7 September 2012|publisher=Espn.go.com|access-date=2014-03-29}}</ref>

GOR is seen by league members as a "foundation of stability" and allowed the Big 12 to be "positioned with one of the best media rights arrangements in collegiate sports, providing the conference and its members unprecedented revenue growth, and sports programming over two networks." All members agreed to the GOR and later agreed to extend the initial 6-year deal to 13 years to correspond to the length of their TV contracts.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.statesman.com/news/sports/college/by-signing-away-tv-rights-horns-offer-stability--1/nRn93/|title=By signing away TV rights, Horns offer stability to Big 12|publisher=www.statesman.com|access-date=2014-03-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131226195112/http://www.statesman.com/news/sports/college/by-signing-away-tv-rights-horns-offer-stability--1/nRn93/|archive-date=2013-12-26|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Prior to this agreement, the Big Ten and Pac-12 also had similar GOR agreements.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/09/07/report-big-12-tv-announcement-coming-friday|title=Updated: Big 12 TV deal made official &#124; CollegeFootballTalk|publisher=Collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com|access-date=2014-03-29|archive-date=2013-12-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131226212244/http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/09/07/report-big-12-tv-announcement-coming-friday/|url-status=dead}}</ref> The Big 12 subsequently assisted the ACC in drafting its GOR agreement.<ref>{{cite web|author=Chuck Carlton|url=http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/college-sports/headlines/20130525-carlton-a-year-into-big-12-tenure-bob-bowlsby-has-seen-conference-stabilize-but-won-t-rest-on-his-laurels.ece|title=Carlton: A year into Big 12 tenure, Bob Bowlsby has seen conference stabilize, but won't rest on his laurels &#124; Dallas Morning News|publisher=Dallasnews.com|date=2013-05-25|access-date=2014-03-29}}</ref> Three of the four major conferences now have such agreements, with the SEC the only exception.

=== Tier 3 events ===

Historically, the Big 12 allowed members to monetize TV rights for everything not broadcast on national or regional TV channels (tier 3 rights). Currently, the conference's tier 3 broadcast rights are bundled as part of the television deal extension starting in the 2025-26 school year, with all of the Big 12's tier 3 rights held by ESPN.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-10-30 |title=Big 12 close to $2.28B media deal with ESPN, Fox |url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/34910144/big-12-nears-six-year-228b-tv-extension-deal-espn-fox |access-date=2025-06-20 |website=ESPN.com |language=en}}</ref> As such, schools no longer need to find their own broadcast partners for these events; they are all handled by ESPN.

==== Conference Pro Day ====
On March 15, 2023, before the [[NFL draft]], the Big 12 announced the first of its kind across all [[List of NCAA conferences|college conferences]], being a conference-wide [[Pro Day]]. Instead of schools hosting separate pro days for their football players, there will be only one conference-wide scouting event before the 2024 NFL draft. The event will be held at the [[Dallas Cowboys]] training complex, [[Ford Center at The Star]]. What essentially would be a conference version of the [[NFL Combine]], the Pro Day would be televised on [[NFL Network]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Big 12 Announces Conference-Wide Pro Day Before 2024 NFL Draft|url=https://www.si.com/college/2023/03/16/big-12-conference-pro-day-before-2024-nfl-draft|access-date=March 22, 2023|website=si.com|date=15 March 2023|language=en}}</ref>

Conference revenue comes from media rights contracts, [[bowl game]]s, the [[NCAA]], merchandise, licensing, and conference-hosted sporting events. 

Most of the Big 12's revenue comes from its media rights contracts. In 2012, the Big 12 announced a media rights agreement with Fox and ESPN, replacing an ABC/ESPN deal, estimated to be worth $2.6 billion through the 2025 expiration.<ref name="espn2012value">{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/8346345/big-12-announces-media-deal-abc-espn-fox |title=Big 12 strikes new media deal |publisher=ESPN |author=McMurphy, Brett |date=2012-09-07}}</ref> The two deals pushed the conference per-university payout to approximately $20 million per year, while separating third-tier media rights into separate deals for each university; such contracts secured an additional $6 million to $20 million per university annually.<ref name="forbes12">{{cite news|url=http://www.kansascity.com/2013/01/16/4014439/forbes-big-ten-tops-revenue-list.html|title=Forbes: Big Ten tops revenue list but Big 12 richest league per school|author=Kerkhoff, Blair|newspaper=Kansas City Star|date=2013-01-16|access-date=2013-01-17}}</ref> In 2022, the conference renewed its media rights with ESPN and Fox Sports for six seasons starting in 2025–26, with an estimated US$380 million average annual fee, equating to about $31.7 million per school.<ref>{{cite web |author=Kirk Bohls |date=October 30, 2022 |title='It's a good deal for Big 12 schools': Conference signs new TV agreement, gains stability |url=https://www.statesman.com/story/sports/college/big-12/2022/10/30/big-12-conference-signs-new-tv-deal-with-espn-fox-through-2031/69604046007/ |website=Austin American-Statesman}}</ref> The contract included a pro-rata clause that increased the conference's fee proportionately if Power conference schools were added.

Significant additional revenue is generated from postseason play by Big 12 teams, including the college football playoff, football bowl games, and NCAA basketball tournament revenue. For the 2023-24 football season, the Big 12 received $79.4 million for participating in the college football playoff.<ref>{{Cite web |title=College Football Playoff Payouts 2024-2025 |url=https://businessofcollegesports.com/college-football-playoff-payouts/ |access-date=2025-07-25 |website=Business of College Sports® |language=en-US}}</ref> Bowl game revenues vary yearly with team selections; the 2024 Alamo Bowl between BYU, representing the Big 12, and Colorado, who took a Pac-12's spot, paid the conference $9.8 million.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-01-01 |title=How much money did BYU and Colorado get for playing in the Alamo Bowl? |url=https://www.deseret.com/sports/2025/01/01/byu-bowl-revenue-payout-alamo-bowl-colorado-distribution-big-12/ |access-date=2025-07-25 |website=Deseret News |language=en}}</ref> Considered perhaps the best basketball conference in the country, the Big 12 performs well in the NCAA basketball tournament.

In the era of Name-Image-Likeness (NIL) payments to student-athletes and revenue sharing directly from school athletic department budgets, the Big 12 has also maximized creative sponsorships. In July 2025, the conference announced a sponsorship deal with PayPal worth about $100 million over 3 years, roughly $2 million per school per year.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-06-26 |title=PayPal to disperse revenue-sharing payments to athletes in Big Ten, Big 12; will not acquire naming rights |url=https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/paypal-to-disperse-revenue-sharing-payments-to-athletes-in-big-ten-big-12-will-not-acquire-naming-rights/ |access-date=2025-07-25 |website=CBSSports.com |language=en}}</ref> Under the agreement, PayPal and Venmo will be the official partner of the Big 12 Conference for payments to student athletes and will be promoted across Big 12 football, basketball, and Olympic sports championships for both men and women.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Big Ten and Big 12 Enter Historic Partnerships with PayPal to Enable Institutional Payments for Student-Athletes in New Revenue Sharing Model |url=https://newsroom.paypal-corp.com/2025-06-26-Big-Ten-and-Big-12-Enter-Historic-Partnerships-with-PayPal-to-Enable-Institutional-Payments-for-Student-Athletes-in-New-Revenue-Sharing-Model |access-date=2025-07-25 |website=PayPal Newsroom |language=en-US}}</ref> Phillips 66 is the title sponsor for Big 12 championship events, and has been for most of the conference's existence, though the contract amount has not been publicly disclosed.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-07-25 |title=Phillips 66 tie to Big 12 hoops 25 years strong |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Journal/Issues/2012/03/05/Marketing-and-Sponsorship/Phillips-66/ |access-date=2025-07-25 |website=Sports Business Journal |language=en}}</ref>

=== National championships ===
The following is a list of all [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]], [[National Collegiate Equestrian Association|equestrian]], and [[College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS|college football]] championships won by teams that were representing the Big 12 Conference in NCAA-recognized sports at the time of their championship.<ref name=NCAAChamps>{{cite web|title=Summary ALL DIVISIONS/COLLEGIATE TOTAL CHAMPIONSHIPS|url=http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/champs_records_book/summaries/combined.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131220115702/http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/champs_records_book/summaries/combined.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 20, 2013|access-date=March 13, 2013}}</ref> The most recent Big 12 team to win a national title is Oklahoma State men's golf in 2025. Only two years of the Big 12's existence has the conference not won at least one team National Title, 2007 and 2020. However, in 2020 multiple National Championships were not awarded due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].

One former member of the conference did not win a National Championship while a member of the Big 12, Missouri. Original members Kansas State and Iowa State have not won a championship while representing the Big 12. The only national championships won by 2012 arrival West Virginia since joining the Big 12 have been in rifle, a sport that the conference has never sponsored. Of the 2023 arrivals, Houston, UCF, and Cincinnati have not won a championship in the Big 12, but BYU has won in women’s and men’s cross country.

Men's swimming has the most overall championships with 10, while men's golf has the most different schools win a championship with 4.

The first football game in conference play was Texas Tech vs. Kansas State in 1996, won by Kansas State, 21–14.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/coaching/alltime_coach_game_by_game.php?coachid=2190&year=1996|publisher=[[College Football Data Warehouse]]|first=David|last=DeLassus|title=Kansas State University football records—1996|access-date=September 4, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020111717/http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/coaching/alltime_coach_game_by_game.php?coachid=2190&year=1996|archive-date=October 20, 2012}}</ref>

From 1996 to 2010, Big 12 Conference teams played eight conference games a season. Each team faced all five opponents within its own division and three teams from the opposite division. Inter-divisional play was a "three-on, three-off" system, where teams would play three teams from the other division on a home-and-home basis for two seasons, and then play the other three foes from the opposite side for a two-year home-and-home.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Sommers|first=Michael A.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iMJgEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA9|title=Football in the Big 12|date=2007-08-15|publisher=The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc|isbn=978-1-4358-4432-2|pages=9–10|language=en}}</ref>

This format came under considerable criticism, especially from Nebraska and Oklahoma, who were denied a yearly match between two of college football's most storied programs.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} The [[Nebraska–Oklahoma football rivalry|Nebraska–Oklahoma rivalry]] was one of the most intense in college football history.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} (Until 2006, the teams had never met in the Big 12 Championship.) Due to the departure of Nebraska and Colorado in 2011, the Big 12 eliminated the divisions (and championship game) and instituted a nine-game round-robin format.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}} With the advent of the [[College Football Playoff]] committee looking at teams' strength of schedule for picking the four playoff teams, on December 8, 2015, the Big 12 announced an annual requirement for all Big 12 teams to schedule a non-conference game against a team from the four other Power Five conferences (plus Notre Dame).<ref name="non-conf schedule req">{{cite web|url=http://www.big12sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=10410&ATCLID=210560102|title=Football Non-Conference Scheduling Requirement Announced|work=Big12Sports.com|date=8 December 2015}}</ref> Per Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby: "Schedule strength is a key component in CFP Selection Committee deliberations. This move will strengthen the resumes for all Big 12 teams. Coupled with the nine-game full round robin Conference schedule our teams play, it will not only benefit the teams at the top of our standings each season, but will impact the overall strength of the Conference."<ref name="non-conf schedule req" /> The Big 12 has made it to the Playoffs 6 times from 2014 to 2023. Four Big 12 participants have made it to the playoff: [[Oklahoma Sooners football|Oklahoma]] in 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2019; [[Texas Longhorns football|Texas]] in 2023; [[TCU Horned Frogs football|TCU]] in 2022; and [[Arizona State Sun Devils football|Arizona State]] in 2024.

=== Championship game ===

{{Main|Big 12 Championship Game}}

The Big 12 Championship Game was approved by all members except Nebraska.<ref>{{cite news|title=Big 12 approves playoff format|location=Harlan, Kentucky|agency=Associated Press|date=June 16, 1995|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=SS5BAAAAIBAJ&pg=6967,2386120&dq=big-12+kansas-city+headquarters+irving&hl=en}}</ref> It was held each year, commencing with the first match in the 1996 season at the [[The Dome at America's Center|Trans World Dome]] in [[St. Louis]]. It pitted the division champions against each other after the regular season was completed.

Following the 2008 game, the event was moved to the new [[AT&T Stadium|Cowboys Stadium]] in [[Arlington, Texas]], being played there in 2009 and 2010. In 2010, the Sooners defeated the Cornhuskers 23–20.<ref>{{cite news|title= OU defeats Nebraska 23–20, wins Big 12 title|first=John E|last=Hoover|work=Tulsa World|date=December 5, 2010|url=http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/OU/article.aspx?subjectid=92&articleid=20101204_92_0_Thelas604128}}</ref>

After 2010, the game was moved to Arlington for 2011, 2012, and 2013.<ref>{{cite news|title=Football: Big 12 title game stays in Dallas|first=Lee|last=Barfknecht|date=June 4, 2010|work=Omaha World-Herald|url=http://www.omaha.com/article/20100604/SPORTS/306049864|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120908001204/http://www.omaha.com/article/20100604/SPORTS/306049864|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 8, 2012}}</ref> However, the decision became moot following the 2010 season because the league lacked sufficient members.<ref>{{cite news|title=Remaining Schools in Big 12 Close to Saving League|work=[[KBTX-TV]]|location=Bryan, Texas|date=June 14, 2011|first=Chip|last=Brown|url=http://www.kbtx.com/sports/headlines/96310899.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100616082037/http://www.kbtx.com/sports/headlines/96310899.html|archive-date=June 16, 2010}}</ref>

In April 2015, the ACC and the Big 12 developed new rules for the NCAA to deregulate conference championship games. The measure passed on January 14, 2016, allowing a conference with fewer than 12 teams to stage a championship game that does not count against the FBS limit of 12 regular-season games under either of the following circumstances:
* The game involves the top two teams following a full round-robin conference schedule.
* The game involves two divisional winners, each having played a full round-robin schedule in its division.

Under the first criterion, the Big 12 championship game resumed at the conclusion of the 2017 regular season, and is played during the first weekend of December, the time all other FBS conference championship games are played.

== Rivalries ==
The Big 12 is known for rivalries (primarily in [[American football|football]]) that mostly predate the conference. The Kansas-Missouri rivalry was the longest running, the longest west of the Mississippi, and the second longest in college football, dating back to the [[Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association]] before evolving into the Big Eight. It was played 119 times before Missouri left the Big 12. As of October 2012, the University of Kansas' athletic department had not accepted Missouri's invitations to play inter-conference rivalry games, putting the rivalry on hold. Sports clubs sponsored by the two universities continued to play each other.<ref name="Border Showdown Continues">{{cite web|title=Border Showdown Continues|url=http://mizzoumag.missouri.edu/2012/07/border-showdown-continues/|access-date=2012-10-23}}</ref> Kansas and Missouri renewed the rivalry in men's basketball starting in December 2021, and have announced that they will meet again in football in 2025.

The rivalry between TCU and Baylor, known as the [[Baylor–TCU football rivalry|Revivalry]] is also one of the longest running in college football, with the two universities having played each other — largely as [[Southwest Conference]] members — 120 times since 1899. Following the 2024 game, TCU leads the series 59–54–7.

After the conference's 2024 expansion, only four rivalries were "protected" (i.e., guaranteed of being played each season)—Arizona–Arizona State, Baylor–TCU, BYU–Utah, and Kansas–Kansas State.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/46038961/iowa-state-kansas-state-farmageddon |title=Days are numbered for college football's storied Farmageddon rivalry |first=Dan |last=Wetzel |website=ESPN.com |date=August 22, 2025 |access-date=August 23, 2025}}</ref> These are highlighted in '''bold''' in the table below.

From 1996 to 2011, standings in conference play were not split among divisions, although the schedule was structured as if they were. Teams played a home-and-home against teams within their divisions and a single game against teams from the opposite division for a total of 16 conference games. After Nebraska and Colorado left, Big 12 play transitioned to an 18-game, double round robin schedule.<ref>{{cite web|title=Men's Basketball – 2011–2012 Schedule & Results-All Teams full season schedule|url=http://www.big12sports.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=10410&SPID=13134&SPSID=106112&Q_SEASON=2011&CONF_SCHOOL_ID=&SCHEDULE_MONTH=-1|work=Big 12 official Website|access-date=October 4, 2011}}</ref> When the conference temporarily expanded to 14 members for the 2023–24 season, the 18-game schedule remained, but the double round-robin was discontinued in favor of a new scheduling formula.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www2.kusports.com/news/2022/oct/20/big-12-go-without-divisions-14-team-league-2023-24/?c=2720036| title=Big 12 to go without divisions as 14-team league in 2023-24 | date=20 October 2022}}</ref>

Kansas has the most Big 12 titles, winning or sharing the regular-season title 20 times in the league's 25 seasons, including 13 straight from 2004–05 to 2016–17. The 2002 Jayhawks became the first, and so far only, team to complete an undefeated Big 12 regular season, going 16–0. Though rematches between Big 12 regular season co-champions have happened in that year's Big 12 tournament, none have met in the ensuing NCAA Tournament.

== Broadcasting and media rights ==
The Big 12's media rights are controlled primarily by [[ESPN]] ([[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], ESPN, [[ESPN2]], [[ESPNU]], and [[ESPN+]]) and [[Fox Sports]] ([[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] and [[Fox Sports 1|FS1]]). Since 2012, ESPN has sublicensed college basketball games to [[CBS Sports]].<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-sports/releases/view?id=31837|title=CBS SPORTS REACHES MULTI-YEAR AGREEMENT WITH ESPN TO BROADCAST MEN'S BASKETBALL GAMES FROM THE ACC, BIG 12 AND PAC-12 CONFERENCES|website=ViacomCBS Press Express|date=May 21, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|url=https://big12sports.com/news/2024/9/23/cbs-sports-and-big-12-expand-partnership-with-multi-year-agreement-for-additional-mens-basketball-games.aspx|title=CBS Sports And Big 12 Expand Partnership With Multi-Year Agreement For Additional Men's Basketball Games|website=Big 12 Conference|date=September 23, 2024}}</ref> Beginning in 2025, ESPN will sublicense college football and basketball games to [[TNT Sports (United States)|TNT Sports]].<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://press.wbd.com/us/media-release/warner-bros-discovery-and-national-basketball-association-reach-agreement-expand-long|title=Warner Bros.

=== 2012 media deal ===
On September 7, 2012, the Big 12 announced a 13-year agreement with ESPN and Fox valued at $2.6 billion in total. [[ESPN College Football|ESPN]] and [[Fox College Football|Fox]] split college football rights, while the basketball inventory was held by [[ESPN College Basketball|ESPN]] with sublicensing options for [[College Basketball on CBS|CBS Sports]] and [[Fox College Hoops|Fox Sports]]. The agreement also included a grant of rights for all current Big 12 teams over the period of the contract.<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://big12sports.com/news/2012/9/7/205680799.aspx|title=Big 12 Announces New Media Rights Deal With ESPN & FOX Sports Media Group|website=Big 12 Conference|date=September 7, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=September 6, 2012|title=Big 12 OKs media deal with ABC/ESPN, Fox|url=https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/8346345/big-12-announces-media-deal-abc-espn-fox|access-date=2020-09-13|website=ESPN}}</ref>

In addition to the national agreement, each Big 12 university maintained the right to sell its "third-tier" covering selected events per-season (including one football game, basketball games, and other events outside of those sports). The third-tier rights to the Texas Longhorns are held through a channel dedicated to the team — [[Longhorn Network]] — which is operated by ESPN. In 2019, ESPN announced that it would acquire the third-tier rights to all Big 12 teams through 2024–25 (excluding Oklahoma and Texas, which are still under long-term contracts with [[ESPN+]] and Longhorn Network respectively), and place their content on its subscription streaming service [[ESPN+]]. ESPN also acquired exclusive rights to all future [[Big 12 Championship Game|Big 12 football championship games]], replacing the previous alternation between ESPN and Fox.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-05-31|title=Big 12 revenues up to $38.8 million per school|url=https://oklahoman.com/article/5632807/bowlsby-says-he-expects-big-12-payouts-to-keep-going-up/|access-date=2020-09-13|website=Oklahoman}}<br />- {{Cite web|last=Moyle|first=Nick|date=2019-07-15|title=Big 12 notes: Conference gets presence on ESPN+|url=https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sports/college/article/Big-12-notes-Conference-gets-presence-on-ESPN-14097748.php|access-date=2020-09-13|website=Houston Chronicle}}<br />- {{Cite web|title=ESPN's expanded Big 12 rights deal adds OTT extension|url=https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/espns-expanded-big-12-rights-deal-adds-ott-extension|access-date=2020-09-13|website=SportsPro Media|date=11 April 2019}}</ref>

=== 2025 extension deal ===
On October 30, 2022, the Big 12 announced that it had reached early broadcast deal to renew rights with ESPN network (includes ABC rights) and Fox. It is a six-year media rights agreement worth a total of $2.3 billion, but also reportedly includes an "escalator clause" that will raise the value of the contracts if only [[Power Five conferences|Power Five]] schools are added. By striking a deal prior to the exclusive negotiating window with ESPN and Fox, the Big 12 managed to achieve several of its primary objectives of stability and security, including the ability to consult its member schools to seek an extended grant of rights and potential future conference expansion. Fox's deal also places a slate of Big 12 college basketball games on [[Fox Sports]] for the first time.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Big 12 finalizing six-year, $2.3 billion extension of media rights deal with ESPN and Fox Sports|url=https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/big-12-finalizing-six-year-2-3-billion-extension-of-media-rights-deal-with-espn-and-fox-sports/|access-date=May 31, 2024|website=cbssports.com|date=30 October 2022|language=en}}</ref>
