As the Big 12 Conference prepares for a new era as a 10-team league next season, it also will be adding two new women's sports. The Big 12 will official sponsor equestrian and rowing to the 21 sports it currently sponsors. Senior associate commissioner Dru Hancock said that the conference decided the time had come to add both sports. Texas A&M, Baylor, Kansas State and Oklahoma State have been competing in equestrian at the club level. In rowing, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas State have sponsored teams at the club level. Being sponsored by the Big 12 brings a number of benefits to the schools that sponsor these two sports. The Big 12 will sponsor and administrate the conference championships for both sports. For both equestrian and rowing moving from the club level to full sponsorship by the Big 12 is a major improvement.
