A Star‑Studded Media Event
The Big 12 will convene its annual Football Media Days at The Star in Frisco, Texas, a sprawling complex that has become the conference’s hub for preseason hype. The two‑day gathering, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, will be streamed live on ESPNU, ESPN2, Big 12 Studios and BYUtv, giving fans across the nation a front‑row view of the upcoming season.
Representing the University of Cincinnati, head coach Scott Satterfield and senior quarterback JC French will join a panel of players that includes linebacker Antwan Peek Jr., as well as offensive linemen Evan Tengesdahl and Taran Tyo. Their appearances underscore the Bearcats’ push to make an impact in their inaugural Big 12 campaign.
Beyond Cincinnati, coaches and standout athletes from every other conference member — Arizona State, Baylor, BYU, Central Florida, Colorado, Houston, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Arizona, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, TCU, Utah and West Virginia — will take the stage. Conference commissioner Brett Yormark will open the proceedings, setting the tone for what many expect to be a competitive year.
The event’s broadcast schedule, anchored by veteran host Kevin Connors, promises a mix of in‑depth interviews, behind‑the‑scenes access and the kind of storytelling that has become a staple of college football media. With the eyes of ESPN and its partners on the action, the days in Frisco are poised to shape the narrative for the entire season.
