The Big 12 Conference is a College Athletic Conference of twelve schools located in the central United States . It is a member of the NCAA 's Division I for all sports, and Division I-A for football.

The conference was formed on February 25 , 1994 , when the former Big Eight Conference merged with four Texas schools that had been members of the Southwest Conference , which had just disbanded. Athletic events in the conference began in the fall of 1996.

While the Big 12 regards itself as a new conference, many fans, especially those of the original Big Eight schools, regard it as an enlarged Big Eight.

The current Big 12 Conference commissioner is Kevin L. Weiberg . The conference's offices are located in Dallas, Texas .

NOTE: According to the Big 12 Conference's website, the use of the alternate names "Big Twelve" and "Big XII" are incorrect; the trademarked name of the conference is "Big 12 Conference" (notwithstanding that the conference logo features the Roman numeral XII).
