Big 12 Becomes Final Power Four Conference to Start Issuing Player Availability Reports
The Big 12 aligns with other Power Five conferences by requiring tiered football and simplified basketball player availability reports to increase transparency amid rising sports gambling.
- On Aug 13, the Big 12 Conference announced it will release availability reports for all conference football and basketball games this fall, joining SEC, Big Ten and ACC.
- Following the Big Ten’s lead, availability reports began in 2023 with the Big Ten, and the SEC followed in 2024 while the ACC announced reports in July 2025.
- These reports use football teams to submit daily updates starting three days before games and a final report 90 minutes prior, all published at Big12Sports.com.
- This move brings the league in line with the rest of the Power Four, as the SEC, Big Ten, and ACC have adopted similar policies within the past two years, and it aims to protect players and preserve competitive integrity.
- With sports betting rising and safety concerns mounting, the College Football Playoff's upcoming availability reports aim to align with evolving transparency expectations across college sports.
