This year's Media Days mark a return to Texas after the 2024 event was held in Las Vegas. The Star, a 91-acre campus that serves as the Dallas Cowboys' headquarters, previously hosted the event in 2017 and 2018. Scott Draper, Big 12 Chief Football & Competition Officer, expressed enthusiasm about the venue, stating, "Texas is the backyard of the Big 12 Conference, and we are looking forward to having our Football Media Days here again. We are grateful for the partnership and continued support from the Dallas Cowboys, and we're thrilled to host our Media Days at a world-class facility like The Star." (big12sports.com)
In a notable development, the 2025 Media Days are powered by Microsoft Copilot, highlighting the conference's commitment to integrating advanced technology into its operations. This partnership builds upon the Big 12's collaboration with Microsoft, which began in 2024 when Microsoft Surface devices were introduced to football sidelines and coaching booths, providing teams with in-game video review capabilities.
