Next Big 12 Commissioner? - Brett Yormark (Roc Nation)

[Acylum]

This is interesting that OUT had a vote.

I’ll hold my judgement on the hire for a few years. He does have the opportunity to prove himself very early during this realignment.

It’s not interesting, it’s infuriating.

They were told to submit their votes directly to the voting box

I agree with the sentiment, but they are still a part of the conference, and thus, probably still get full rights as being members. The correct thing would have been to abstain from the vote.

 

[Bestaluckcy]

It’s kind of a joke. Let them pick the guy that is going to bill them for several million dollars.

Found this comment by the Big 10 commish interesting. Granted he’s going to be complimentary but still seems like Yormark at least got their attention.

 

[LLCoolCY]

Think most know… but today is Yormark’s first day at the Commish.

Add some white face paint and a green wig and our new commish is the Joker

hope he grows some balls

He’s obviously hung like a Clydesdale.

While it totally makes sense that Yormark would de-prioritize OUT it does feel refreshing to see it in action. I am just so conditioned to just accept OU/UT as priority on and not risk upsetting them for 20-30 years?!

Interesting timing.

 

[SCNCY]

Its good to see the conference do something about its marketing, and more specifically, branding.

 

[helechopper]

Yeah, in the past it felt like the Big12 didn't do anything but the bare minimum to get its brand out there to the public. It was more dependent on each individual school to advertise on their own behalf and that would somehow help the collective. Now we have a person in charge of marketing to form a league narrative and brand, then push out the unified look and message for us. Smart move.

 

[KnappShack]

Interesting timing.

The league is just now doing this? JFC we could've had someone in there trying to control the narrative and being proactive with the conference image.

The Big 12 was driving a Model T and impressed that we weren't still on horseback

 

[LLCoolCY]

Yormark continues to add resources to promote the B12 Brand.

Yormark continues to add resources to promote the B12 Brand.

It's the introduction of Cycloins. Instead of helmet stickers players will be given a collectable NFT of their "play". They can then hold or sell on the open market to generate cash.
