The college football landscape continues to change \u2014 this time with a possible Big-12 bowl expansion into Mexico<\/a>. <\/p>\n

College football could join college basketball\u2019s efforts in expanding south of the United States border. Two of which are already slated for December 2024. The bowl game, on the other hand, would be held in Monterrey, Mexico beginning during the 2026 postseason.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Big 12 is exploring starting a bowl game in Mexico in the postseason of 2026, with the site targeted to be Monterrey. The league will also hold a regular season game w\/Houston<\/a><\/strong> and Kansas<\/a><\/strong> in Mexico City in 2024 in men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Pete Thamel<\/a> wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Thamel also reports that Big 12 baseball and women\u2019s soccer teams are set to play local teams in Mexico in exhibition matchups as well. <\/p>\n

If the deal for the bowl game goes through, it will be the second international bowl game that the NCAA hosts, joining the Bahamas Bowl. Historically, it will be the fourth-ever bowl game to be regularly played outside of the United States, but never in Mexico.<\/p>\n

Brett Yormark \u2018thinks differently\u2019 than other conference commissioners, benefits Big 12<\/h2>\n

Brett Yormark<\/strong>\u00a0has been the Big 12 Commissioner for less than one full year. Despite that, he\u2019s already become one of the most prominent figures in college athletics.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0On3\u2019s Ivan Maisel<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0explained during an appearance on\u00a0McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning<\/em>, Maisel explained that Yormark has found success because he\u2019s different.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, Brett Yormark thinks differently than the traditional college administrator,\u201d\u00a0Maisel said<\/a>. \u201cAnd that\u2019s been a great benefit to the Big 12. I mean, he got a TV deal done, he got them, promoted their sponsoring of playground hoops in New York. I mean, he\u2019s trying to get their name out there in a way that is very non-traditional.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the major accomplishments that Brett Yormark managed was to land a\u00a0new media deal<\/a>. It\u2019s worth $2.28 billion. Notably, he got that deal done much quicker than the Pac-12 was able to negotiate its new media deal, as the conferences look to show stability. The Pac-12 is\u00a0still looking<\/a>\u00a0for its next media partner or partners.<\/p>\n

Recently, Yormark\u00a0even announced<\/a>\u00a0the Big 12 would distribute $440 million to 10 conference members for the 2022-2023 season.<\/p>\n

Another common occurrence has been rumors that Yormark wants to expand the Big 12 again. The most recent rumors include schools like\u00a0Colorado<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0UConn<\/a><\/strong>, and\u00a0Gonzaga<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd inviting a Gonzaga, luring Colorado, talking to UConn. Why UConn would do it \u2014 I live in Connecticut \u2014 UConn left the Big East once and it didn\u2019t go very well. Why they would do that again is mystifying.\u201d<\/p>\n
