WeCOACH is pleased to announce the Big 12 Conference has upgraded its membership to a league-wide, unlimited group membership for the 2023-24 academic year. The renewal also includes new institutional members, BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, and Houston. The Big 12 was the first Power 5 autonomy conference to join WeCOACH as a conference-wide member in 2019.

“The Big 12 Conference is excited to announce the extension of our partnership with WeCOACH,” said Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark. “We are dedicated to supporting and creating opportunities for our women coaches, and our partnership with WeCOACH will ensure resources for them to continue to grow.”

The upgraded membership is active immediately, allowing each of the conference’s 14 institutions to enroll an unlimited number of women coaches to benefit from the year-round programs and resources offered by WeCOACH, including several new programs and initiatives that will be unveiled this fall.

“We are thrilled for the opportunity to increase our impact across more Big 12 member coaches. The recent data included in the Tucker Center report demonstrates we have entered an era of incline for women in coaching. We applaud Commissioner Yormark and the Big 12 leadership for their continual investment and modeling what support looks like for women in sport,” said Vanessa Fuchs, CEO of WeCOACH.
