LAS VEGAS - Today, the Big 12 Conference announced the formation of its first-ever Big 12 Alumni Council.
The council is comprised of 32 former student-athletes from men’s and women’s programs across each Big 12 institution. The council was created to leverage the experience and expertise of some of the Big 12’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.
Former BYU star quarterback Steve Young and former BYU soccer star forward Ashley Hatch will be the two BYU alumni representing the Cougars on the council.
“I’m thrilled to serve on the first-ever Big 12 Alumni Council,” Young said in the Big 12's news release this morning. “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.”
