The University of Houston plans to roll out the red carpet for Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark.
“I think it’s been a little bit of one-upmanship on his site visits, so we’re working on trying to get some things going to make sure we impress the commissioner,” UH vice president for athletics Chris Pezman said. “We’ve got a very full four or five hours with him that are completely booked with really important meetings,” Pezman said. “Looking forward to seeing him here. He hasn’t seen our place yet. I can’t wait to show it off and brag about what we are doing and getting done.”Since accepting an invitation to join the Big 12 last September, UH officials have attended the league’s meetings in Scottsdale, Ariz., and suburban Dallas.
In his first six weeks on the job, Yormark has tackled some important issues, among them early negotiations with ESPN and Fox on a potential extension of current agreements, possible expansion and the future of the University of Texas and Oklahoma. The two schools are set to join the Southeastern Conference in 2025, although some insiders believe that timeline could move up. At his introductory press conference at the Big 12 media days in July, Yormark declared: “The Big 12 is open for business.
