In a major development for collegiate athletics, the Big 12 Conference has officially announced its rebranding as the “Big 16 Conference.” This decision comes in response to the addition of new member schools, marking a significant expansion for the organization.
The announcement was made at a press conference earlier today, where Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark unveiled the new conference name and the official logo. The rebranding effort reflects the conference’s growth and its commitment to enhancing its competitive landscape and national presence.
“The transition to the Big 16 Conference represents a new era of opportunity and excitement,” Yormark said. “Our expanded membership will strengthen our athletic programs, boost fan engagement, and provide new opportunities for student-athletes across the country.”
The newly revealed logo features a modern design that incorporates elements representing the diverse and dynamic nature of the conference. The logo’s bold colors and sleek lines are intended to symbolize the energy and forward momentum of the Big 16.
The conference’s expansion is set to officially take effect with the start of the 2025-2026 athletic year. The addition of new teams is expected to enhance the competitive balance and increase the conference’s national profile in various sports.
