This is likely going to happen more often unless Baylor gets their act together on NIL. All of those programs have programs set up to enhance players exposure. That will start becoming a more and more important piece to the recruiting puzzle.

---

Minus UCONN and Arizona, the other 3 schools will be in the SEC next season and while I don't care for the SEC they definitely get lots of exposure (media wise)

NIL is a school to school thing. I can't speak for everyone else's NIL management but there are definitely schools who have been at the forefront of it all.

LSU obviously a major one and the hottest NIL place for female athletes in college athletics. SC's entire team getting 25K and other NIL opportunities from the community local

"South Carolina women's basketball players will make at least $25,000 each during the 2022-23 season thanks to a unique name, image and likeness deal with the Gamecocks' NIL collective, the Garnet Trust, and sports marketing firm NOCAP Sports."

Big 12 Conference to Establish Big 12 Mexico
June 8, 2023
Big 12 Press Release

Big 12 Conference announced
the launch of Big 12 Mexico, the Conference's first international extension that will see Big 12 men's and women's basketball, women's soccer and baseball games held in Mexico.

Big 12 Mexico's first contest
will be a men's and women's basketball matchup between Kansas and Houston, held in Mexico City at Arena CDMX in December of 2024. Following the launch of Big 12 basketball in Mexico, Big 12 women's soccer and baseball will participate in exhibitions against clubs from the region. Additionally, the Big 12 will explore establishing a football bowl game in Monterrey, starting in 2026. This would be the first bowl game ever held in Mexico.

Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark said
"Mexico is a natural extension to the Big 12 footprint, and I'm thrilled to introduce Big 12 Mexico as the Conference's first-ever international presence. Through Big 12 Mexico, our student-athletes will have the opportunity to compete in an international setting, and our Conference will have the chance to showcase our brand across Mexico."

Leading up to the launch of Big 12 Mexico and throughout 2023
FOX Sports and ESPN will help seed the Big 12 product across Mexico and Spanish-speaking communities through their ESPN Deportes (U.S based), ESPN Mexico and ESPN on Star+ (Mexico based channels and OTT service) and FOX Deportes (U.S. based) channels, which will air select Big 12 football and basketball games. Additionally, the Big 12 will look to secure for the first time Spanish radio broadcasts for Big 12 Football and Basketball Championships in 2023-24 and beyond and will implement a robust Mexico digital strategy.

The Big 12 Conference will team up with Mexico City-based live entertainment agency Zignia as a co-promotional partner. Zignia will support with marketing and sales of Big 12 Mexico events, as well as provide the Conference with their depth of resources. Additionally, On Location, an Endeavor-owned company, will assist with all school travel and VIP packages, while Endeavor will assist the Conference in all facets of its international digital strategy. The Big 12 Business Advisory Board will also continue to provide key insights and counsel as the Conference grows its presence in Mexico.

Beyond hosting Conference games across multiple sports, Big 12 Mexico will see the Conference execute a variety of community outreach programming, commercial partnerships, merchandise and activations. This includes the Conference partnering with notable musicians and artists and launching an influencer marketing campaign in the region.

Geography
.. 5 current and future Big 12 Conference campuses
Baylor, Houston, TCU, Texas and Texas Tech
are located less than 400 miles away from Mexico
.. University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University have campus extensions in Mexico

Mexico City - the largest city in North America
with a greater area population of over 22 million
has played host to MLB, NBA, NFL, and is home to the G League's Capitanes de Ciudad de Mxico.
