The Big 12 Conference is a college athletic conference of twelve schools located in the Central United States, with headquarters located just outside of Dallas, in Irving, Texas. It is a member of the NCAA’s Division I for all sports; its football teams compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS; formerly Division I-A), the higher of two levels of NCAA Division I football competition. Member schools are located in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas. Because some perceive the conference to revolve around the University of Texas at Austin, the conference has been referred to by some fans and media as “The Big Texas Conference”.
The conference was officially formed on February 25, 1994, when the members of the Big Eight Conference joined with four Texas schools from the Southwest Conference.
