 <div style="text-align: center;"> </div> &ldquo;I&rsquo;m thrilled to serve on the first-ever Big 12 Alumni Council,&rdquo; said former BYU QB and Pro Football Hall of Fame member Steve Young. &ldquo;This is an incredibly exciting time for the Big 12, and I look forward to being a resource for Commissioner Yormark and his team as the Conference continues to thrive.&rdquo; &nbsp; &ldquo;The Big 12 Conference is home to thousands of student-athlete alumni who have had great success on and off the field following their time on campus,&rdquo; said Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark. &ldquo;As we enter into a new chapter as a 16-team league, the insights and perspectives of the Big 12 Alumni Council will be an incredible resource.&rdquo; &nbsp; The Big 12 Alumni Council is comprised of 32 former student-athletes from men&rsquo;s and women&rsquo;s programs across each Big 12 institution. The Council was created to leverage the experience and expertise of some of the Big 12&rsquo;s most notable student-athlete alumni as the Conference enters a new era. These alumni will provide guidance and insights surrounding a variety of topics, including brand building, athlete relations, storytelling, digital content and much more. &nbsp; In turn, each Council member will receive a variety of resources and amenities, including networking access to the Big 12&rsquo;s Business Advisory Board for professional networking, league support of council member&rsquo;s community initiatives, media opportunities on behalf of the league and VIP access to all Big 12 Championships and Conference events. &nbsp; The Council will be overseen by Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark and VP of Communications &amp; Strategy Clark Williams. The Council will kick off in August 2024, as the Big 12 officially becomes a 16-team league.
