*Early discussions underway to keep both tournaments in Kansas City through 2031. Goal is to have agreement finalized by March.
*Starting 2024-25, men will play 20 conference games and women will play 18. Difference is due to coaches' requests and the WBB tournament occurring a week earlier than MBB.
*Potential for "enhanced" broadcasts and coverage. Hinted at what the NFL is doing to bring in younger audience.
*Football scheduling parameters will include geography, competitive balance, history, and rivalries. Work ongoing.
*Olympic sport scheduling will focus on geography as well.
Edit to add: *Will explore splitting MBB and FB TV contracts in the future. Has the option, but will only do so if the value is there.
*New weekly SiriusXM radio show focusing on WBB and Olympic sports.
*Big 12 Mexico on track for Dec. 2024 (Kansas/Houston men and women).
*Rucker Park event again next summer, potentially with an alumni game included.
*Shaq making a return to P&L for 2024 tournament.
*Additional premium seating and hospitality options for fans at MBB/WBB championships.
