BIG 12 CONFERENCE The Big 12 enters its 28th year as one of the nation’s premier athletic conferences under the direction of Commissioner Brett Yormark. In his brief time at the helm, Yormark has elevated the Conference to new heights, placing an emphasis on marketing, brand building and storytelling that has resonated across the college athletics landscape.

The Big 12 office is located in Irving, Texas.

The Big 12 is comprised of 14 institutions after welcoming BYU, UCF, Cincinnati and Houston on July 1, 2023. TCU and West Virginia were the first new additions since inception when they joined the league on July 1, 2012.

Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech are legacy members.

• Big 12 institutions create a league that encompasses eight states, three time zones and a combined population of over 79.3 million.

In the first year of his tenure, Yormark executed a media rights deal with ESPN and Fox that will run through 2030-31 while leading a revamp of the Big 12 Football and Basketball Championships that resulted in revenue and digital engagement highs. He has taken an innovative approach to ensure the Conference resides in places it has never been before including creating the first Big 12 Business Advisory Board. Other highlights are executing a partnership with the National Football League to operate a conference-wide Pro Day, teaming up with New York City Parks Department for a summer activation at historic Rucker Park, and bringing celebrity talent such as Fat Joe, Ashanti, Shaq and DJ Khaled into the Big 12 marketing fold. “Big 12 Homecoming” will debut during the 2023 football season at the four new members’ campuses with additional conference members featured in future seasons.

The 2022-23 academic year saw the Conference reach new frontiers with TCU becoming the first league school to reach the College Football Playoff National Championship game. Texas captured the NCAA Women’s Volleyball title as well as the Women’s Outdoor Track & Field national championship.

Oklahoma earned its second straight NCAA Women’s Gymnastics trophy and was crowned Women’s College World Series champions for the third consecutive season. NCAA Championship runner-up finishes were notched

by Oklahoma State Men’s Cross Country, Texas Women’s Swimming & Diving and UT Women’s Indoor Track & Field. NCAA individual titles were collected by 23 student-athletes. The Big 12 tied its own record as the only league to place 70 percent of men’s basketball teams in the NCAA Championship and 80 percent of football squads in bowl games in the same academic year, also accomplishing the feat in 2017-18.

6

KEY HIGHLIGHTS • Home of 81 NCAA team titles and 742 individual national championships (As of July 1, 2023).

• The league sponsors 23 sports. Men’s squads include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and wrestling. Women’s teams are fielded in basketball, cross country, equestrian, golf, gymnastics, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis and volleyball.

• The Conference currently conducts postseason championships for 22 of its 23 sports.

• Entering the 2023-24 academic year, the Big 12 has over 800 Academic All-America recipients.

• National academic accolades have always been strong in the Big 12.

Charlie Kolar (Iowa State) was the recipient of the 2021 William V. Campbell Trophy, known as the Academic Heisman. He is the Big 12’s fifth honoree since 2000. Since 1996, the Big 12 has 14 recipients of the NCAA Today’s Top 10 award. This prestigious honor recognizes former studentathletes for their success on the fields and courts, in the classroom and in the community. In the last 13 seasons, 27 student-athletes were recipients of the NCAA Elite 90 award.

• Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark announced the formation of a Business Advisory Board to collaborate and help co-author the Conference’s business strategy. The Board is comprised of some of the most successful leaders from a variety of fields – entertainment, finance, consumer brands, technology, media and more – that bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise in building global brands and dynamic businesses.

COVICH

» HEAD COACH » 10TH SEASON » MISSISSIPPI STATE, 2004 Sean Covich was named West Virginia University’s 12th men’s golf coach on May 22, 2014 and has led the Mountaineers through the reintroduction of the sport and into a new era.

The Mountaineers matched their highest Big 12 finish in 2022-23 with the team shooting 281 in the second round, the lowest round in WVU’s Big 12 Championship history. In addition, WVU tied No. 12 Oklahoma State at the Big 12 Match Play Championship.

In 2021-22, West Virginia won the Lake Las Vegas Intercollegiate with a 28-under-par tally, the lowest 54-hole, under-par score in school history. The 271 in the final round at Vegas tied the lowest round team total in school history and the 17-under-par tally in the final round was the lowest round in school history in relation to par.

Mark Goetz won the Lake Las Vegas Intercollegiate and Mountaineer Invitational for his second and third collegiate tournament wins, the most in school history. Max Green was co-champion of the East Carolina Intercollegiate, becoming the third different Mountaineer to win a collegiate tournament.

In 2020-21 despite the abbreviated season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Goetz became WVU’s first-ever individual qualifier for the NCAA Regional Championship. He finished second, just missing a spot in the NCAA Golf Championship.

After the season, he became the first WVU golfer to earn All-America honors. Goetz then was the stroke-play medalist out of 312 golfers at the 121st U.S. Amateur at Oakmont Country Club, shooting 8-under-par.

12

WVUSPORTS.COM The Mountaineers finished the 2020-21 season on a strong note. For the third year in a row, West Virginia won the Mountaineer Invitational with Goetz being the only golfer in the field to shoot under par (-12). WVU’s four-day total at the Big 12 Championship tied WVU’s best 72-hole total at the championship, including a 283 in the third round, one shot off its best round in a Big 12 event. Also in the spring, WVU shot a 10-under-par 278 at the Seminole Intercollegiate, the eighth-best round in school history and posted the lowest team score in the three years of competing at the Gators Invitational.

Building upon momentum from the team’s first NCAA appearance since 1947 the previous season, Covich’s Mountaineers earned the program’s first-ever top-25 ranking in 2019-20, coming in at No. 25 in the first Bushnell/Golfweek Coaches Poll of the season.

West Virginia put a tally in the win column after topping the leaderboard at the Health Plan Mountaineer Invitational at Pete Dye Golf Club. Covich led the Mountaineers to its second victory of the season in a head-to-head matchup against Connecticut to open the spring portion of the season.

2019-20 proved to be another record-breaking year for West Virginia, as the team combined to break four different records throughout the season. Etienne Papineau earned the first record of the season with a program-best 54-hole total of 203 at the Old Town Club Collegiate Invitational.

Logan Perkins also earned a new 18-hole record low score at the Florida Gators Invitational with a 62 to finish second overall in the tournament.

As a team, the Mountaineers recorded a new team 54-hole low round and total versus par at the Ka’anapali Collegiate Classic with a 273-273280=826 for 26-under par. This bested the previous records of 835 and 22-under. The 2019-20 season was cut short in March due to COVID-19.

With the help of freshman Kurtis Grant, the 2018-19 season started off in a big way, as Grant posted a 206 in the Old Town Club Collegiate, tying the program record on his way to an 11thplace finish. Soon after, senior Max Sear became the first Mountaineer in more than 35 years to earn medalist honors when he finished atop the team leaderboard at The Health Plan Mountaineer Invitational at Pete Dye Golf Club. His first-place finish led the Mountaineers to the team title for the first time ever at their home event.

The inaugural Big 12 Match Play Championship was up next for WVU. The Mountaineers put up a tough battle and came away with a win over Iowa State and a tie with Kansas. The Tavistock Collegiate Invitational, which West Virginia joined UCF in hosting, and the Ka’anapali Collegiate Classic wrapped up fall play as the Mountaineers finished with a program-best No. 37 ranking via Golfstat.

Spring trips down south included a third-place finish at the Seminole Intercollegiate in Tallahassee, Florida, and a fourth-place finish at the Irish Creek Collegiate in Kannapolis, North Carolina. In an annual tradition, the Mountaineers wrapped up play at rival Penn State’s Rutherford Intercollegiate, taking home third place.

At the end of April, West Virginia welcomed the league’s nine other programs to The Old White TPC in White Sulphur Springs as the Mountaineers played host to the 2019 Big 12 Men’s Golf Championship at The Greenbrier Resort. Despite a soggy start, sophomore Matthew Sharpstene led the way for WVU with a 13th-place finish at the historic resort.

History was then made on May 1, 2019. The team gathered at the WVU Coliseum at 9 p.m. to await its fate as the top-50 national ranking all but guaranteed the Mountaineers a spot in an NCAA Regional. The team didn’t have to wait long, as “West Virginia” showed up in the first regional announced. The No. 8-seeded Mountaineers would join Big 12 foes Oklahoma State, Baylor and Iowa State at the University of Louisville Golf Club in Simpsonville, Kentucky. It marked the program’s first NCAA appearance since 1947.

One week shy of the fifth anniversary of his hiring, Covich led West Virginia to its first NCAA appearance in 72 seasons. Sharpstene, Sear, Etienne Papineau, Logan Perkins and Philipp Matlari represented West Virginia in Louisville, along with alternate Mark Goetz. The Mountaineers found themselves in contention for a national championship bid early on, as they finished the first day in fifth place after Perkins led the way at one-under-par. The team slipped to eighth on the second day but rallied in the third round. After bouncing in and out of the top five throughout the day, WVU finished just two strokes out of contention, taking sixth place at the regional.

Though the season ended, the historical repercussions did not. Sharpstene became the first Mountaineer on record to earn Division I PING Midwest All-Region team accolades in May. Three more Mountaineers were honored in July as Sear, Papineau and Matlari were named to the GCAA Scholar All-America Teams for their play on the course and work in the classroom. Additionally, West Virginia earned team academic honors for the third straight season.

Tasked with rebuilding a program from scratch, Covich put together a team that saw success in its return to the links.

The 2017-18 season ended with the program’s first-ever top-100 ranking for the Mountaineers, as they finished the season at No. 90 out of 300 NCAA Division I Programs.

Covich’s Mountaineers started the season off with a bang, taking the team title at the Janney VCU Shootout to open the year. They added

another team win in the spring, finishing first at the Martin Downs Collegiate in February. WVU registered team runner-up finishes at The Health Plan Mountaineer Invitational, the Furman Intercollegiate and the Rutherford Intercollegiate. The squad capped the season with a ninth-place finish at the 2018 Big 12 Men’s Golf Championship – a program best – and its second straight GCAA All-Academic Team award.

Individually, the Mountaineers excelled on the course and in the classroom. Max Sear set a program record with his 73.03 scoring average on the season and became the program’s second-ever GCAA Srixon/Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar. He was joined by five teammates in earning Academic All-Big 12 honors. Freshman Matthew Sharpstene became the program’s first-ever Big 12 Golfer of the Month in November and went on to set a program low round after carding eight birdies to shoot a 64 at Martin Downs in February.

In just their second season of varsity competition in 2016-17, the Mountaineers posted their first tournament win in more than 30 years when they claimed the title at the East Carolina Intercollegiate in April of 2017. Vienna native Alan Cooke set a program record with a 206 at the Seminole Intercollegiate in March before tying teammate Max Sear with a record low of 66. WVU set records for lowest team round (277) and 54-hole total (849) at the Seminole Intercollegiate as well.

The team made strides in the classroom as well, earning GCAA All-Academic Team accolades after posting a team GPA of 3.0 or above. Chris Williams became the program’s first GCAA All-Academic Scholar by maintaining a GPA of 3.2 or above and a stroke average of 76 or less. Williams and Cooke repeated as members of the Big 12 All-Academic Team as well.

Cooke became the first Mountaineer since 1982 to tee off on Sept. 6, 2015, at the Tiger Turning Stone Invitational in Verona, New York. The squad finished 10th at the historic tournament and built momentum from there. Senior Easton Renwick recorded the team’s first top-10 finish at the Joe Feaganes Marshall Invitational on Sept. 15, 2015 and would go on to add four more top-25 finishes on the season.

After team posting a new-era low of 283 in two rounds at the Joe Feaganes Invite in the fall, WVU capped the regular season with a runner-up finish at rival Penn State’s Rutherford Intercollegiate in April. The squad shot 284-284-285=853 for its lowest 54-hole total of the season. Cooke set a program record by shooting a 207 for six under par and a runner-up individual finish.

Tristan Nicholls joined Cooke, Sear, Renwick and Williams in representing West Virginia at the team’s first ever Big 12 Golf Championship at Whispering Pines Country Club in Trinity Texas April 29-May 1. Though the Mountaineers finished

Mountaineer Golf 10th at the event, Sear finished two spots shy of all-conference honors with a 12th-place finish.

Prior to the team’s trip to Texas, Covich was inducted into the Mississippi Community and Junior College Sports Hall of Fame for his time at Meridian Community College.

A native of Meridian, Miss., Covich came to WVU from Mississippi State, where he served as the assistant men’s golf coach the last three seasons. He previously served as the head men’s golf coach at Meridian Community College for five seasons.

At Mississippi State, Covich became the school’s first full-time men’s golf assistant coach in 2011.

He helped the Bulldogs to the NCAA Tournament in 2013 and 2014 while improving the school’s national ranking from No. 125 in 2011 to a school-record No. 27 in 2013. The Bulldogs won a school-record four tournament titles in 2012-13, then added two more tournament wins in 201314 for the most wins (six) in a two-year span in school history.

The Bulldogs set school records for best team 36-hole score (-25), best team 54 hole score (-38) and season records for most team birdies (497), most team eagles (14) and most team scores of even-par or better (14). In addition, he helped the Bulldogs to the second-lowest team round in school history (274) and the second-lowest team score in relation to par (-14). Covich coached Chad Ramey to All-SEC honors, the first player in school history to be named all-conference three consecutive seasons.

At Meridian Community College, Covich successfully transitioned MCC from a NJCAA Division II program to a NJCAA Division I national power.

He led MCC to a NJCAA National Championship Runner-Up finish in just their second season at the Division I level and positioned the Eagles as the No. 1 ranked JUCO team during the 2010-11 season.

At MCC, Covich guided his squad to 18 tournament championships. He produced 15 senior college players, six all-tournament team members at the national championship and guided seven All-Americans.

WVU VICE PRESIDENT/DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

WREN BAKER

West Virginia University President E. Gordon Gee named Wren Baker as WVU’s Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics on Nov. 30, 2022.

WVU’s 13th director of athletics came to Morgantown from the University of North Texas, where he had been the associate vice president and athletics director since 2016. With previous stops at Missouri, Memphis, Northwest Missouri and Rogers State, Baker brought more than 20 years of experience to WVU. Baker has oversight of 18 varsity sports, a department budget of more than $90 million, approximately 250 employees and nearly 500 student-athletes.

In his first year at West Virginia, Baker has hit the ground running and has never looked back.

He has traveled the state to learn its culture, met Mountaineer fans from all over the world, fundraised for his department, addressed budget concerns, put his touches on a new premium club space at the Coliseum and even hired coaches in women’s and men’s basketball. While he is a native Oklahoman, he has certainly been adopted as the newest Mountaineer by West Virginia fans.

As an athletics director, he has now led 20 head coaching searches, and his hires have a combined 75% winning percentage.

At North Texas, seven Mean Green programs (men’s cross country, volleyball, women’s soccer, football, men’s basketball, women’s golf and softball) combined to win 17 conference or division championships during Baker’s tenure, and the overall athletics department’s winning percentage in the last year was the best in the modern era. In 2019, every Mean Green team achieved a winning season for the first time in school history.

UNT also reached new heights in the classroom under Baker’s leadership, posting its top APR scores and four consecutive department Graduation Success Rate (GSR) records. For the first time ever, every Mean Green team recorded a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher with the Spring 2022 department GPA hitting a 3.206 average.

Baker led record fundraising years at North Texas as the school registered its four best fundraising years in its history, and the overall top five largest gifts ever at UNT came under Baker’s leadership.

He guided North Texas athletics to a school record for fundraising in a single year, nearly doubling the previous department record.

UNT ticket revenue increased by 125% under Baker, and football attendance grew by 71%, while men’s and women’s basketball crowds grew by more than 60%. Additional achievements at North Texas included a five-year strategic plan, new 20-year

facilities master plan and lucrative contracts for multimedia rights, licensing, apparel and equipment.

Baker also led the charge to renovate eight different UNT athletic facilities, while spearheading the design and fundraising for three new facilities including a track and field/soccer stadium, golf practice facility and an indoor practice building.

One of the biggest moments in the history of North Texas Athletics came under his watch, when UNT was invited to join the American Athletic Conference beginning in July 2023.

Prior to North Texas, Baker was the deputy director of athletics The Baker Family: Wren, Reagan, Heather and Addisyn at Missouri from 2015 to 2016, serving as the top advisor and director for Valliant Public Schools and, at age 26, chief of staff.
