Big 12 Football Media Days will be held at The Star in 2025
The Star is the 91-acre headquarters of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.
Last year, the Big 12 had its two-day Media Days in Las Vegas, Nevada, at Allegiant Stadium. The move to have the event in Las Vegas was to help the “Four Corner” schools (Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah) transition from the Pac-12 to Big 12.
“Texas is the backyard of the Big 12 Conference, and we are looking forward to having our Football Media Days here again,” said Big 12 Chief Football & Competition Officer Scott Draper. “We are grateful for the partnership and continued support from the Dallas Cowboys, and we’re thrilled to host our Media Days at a world-class facility like The Star.”
The Big 12 last held football media days at The Star in 2018. From 2019 to 2023, the event occurred at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Big 12 Pro Day also took place at The Star last year.

16-team league: Year Two
Arizona State, which was picked to finish last in the 2024 preseason media poll, won the championship during its inaugural season in the Big 12.
The Big 12 is preparing for its second season as a 16-team league.
Last season, BYU finished with an 11-2 record and a 7-2 mark in Big 12 play. Utah was the preseason favorite to win the Big 12 during its first year but ended up finishing 5-7 overall and 2-7 in league games.
Some Way-Too-Early Top 25 rankings have the Big 12 with four or five teams in the early forecasts for next season.
