Report: Big 12 to Play in Mexico

[Walter]

According to multiple reports, the Big 12 is set to begin playing basketball games in Mexico during the 2024-25 season, and football games in 2025. 

Big 12’s preference would be to begin the games with a men’s hoops matchup between Kansas and Houston, according to Sports Illustrated.

Commissioner Brett Yormark was in Mexico last week and met with officials and toured potential sites, including CDMX Arena in Mexico City (capacity 22,000) for basketball. Football games would be played in Monterrey at Estadio BBVA (capacity 53,000).

Interesting idea and concept to continue to grow the B12 brand. Yormark is also doing league youth summer basketball clinics at Rucker Park.

I personally prefer US venues with our proceeds staying here and teams playing here.

Mixed reviews so far from different fan bases.
