Outgoing Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark will head a new venture backed by RedBird Capital Partners following his departure from collegiate athletics.
The outgoing Big 12 commissioner will lead Milan Sports & Entertainment, a new holding company backed by RedBird Capital Partners. Brett Yormark is trading the Big 12 for Serie A. In October, the Big 12 commissioner announced he would be moving on from his post at a time when college football was undergoing an incredible, high-stakes transition.
And now we know that his destination is about as far away from American college sports as you can get.
