Brandon Weeden and Tiffany Bias Patmon will be Oklahoma State’s representatives on the first-ever Big 12 Alumni Council, the conference announced Wednesday.
According to the conference, “The Big 12 Alumni 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.”
Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark and Vice President of Communications & Strategy Clark Williams will oversee the council.
“The Big 12 Conference is home to thousands of student-athlete alumni who have had great success on and off the field following their time on campus,” Yormark said in a release. “As we enter into a new chapter as a 16-team league, the insights and perspectives of the Big 12 Alumni Council will be an incredible resource.”
The Big 12 Alumni Council will launch in August after the conference officially grows to 16 teams on Aug. 2, adding former Pac-12 members Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah. The group will include two representatives from each school. Those representatives will also receive benefits from joining the council, according to the release. Each council member will get networking access to the Big 12’s Business Advisory Board for professional networking, league support of council member’s community initiatives, media opportunities on behalf of the league and VIP access to all Big 12 championships and conference events.
Honored to be a part of the Big 12 Alumni Council! The future is bright for the Big 12 and I look forward to representing Oklahoma State along the way! @Big12Conference @OSUAthletics pic.twitter.com/7QStMWeTih
