Loyal Crimson Club Members, I hope all of you have enjoyed a wonderful summer. I trust that you, just like me, feel a strong sense of anticipation for the start of a new athletics year when the calendar flips to August. That time is here, and we will soon come together to cheer on the Utes once again! We have tremendous momentum coming off a year of historic accomplishments that included seven teams winning conference championships and eight teams
competing in the postseason. Our focus is on continuing to equip our student- athletes, coaches and staff to climb even higher and provide our great fans and donors more unforgettable memories in 2023-24. We also know we are embarking on a year of great change amidst tremendous disruption in college athletics. We recently announced that the University of Utah will join the Big 12 Conference in 2024, following a lengthy and thoughtful process to ensure that Utah Athletics would have the stability and resources to continue to provide a world-class experience for our student- athletes. I’m grateful for the leadership of President Taylor Randall and our Board of Trustees throughout the process as we worked closely together to identify our best path, and I’m excited for our future in the Big 12. Like you, we are appreciative of the 12-year membership we have enjoyed in the Pac-12 Conference, and will forever be grateful for the transformative effect it has had on the growth of our university and our athletics programs. We are grateful that the Big 12 Conference and Commissioner Brett Yormark have welcomed us into their growing conference. It is a progressive league full of tremendous academic institutions, storied athletic programs and passionate fans, with a vision for a bold future. We are excited to join the Big 12 and begin new traditions in 2024! Before that time comes, though, we have a great deal to accomplish in our final year as members of the Pac-12. This is an incredibly exciting time for Utah Athletics, with championship programs poised to raise the bar even higher. We can feel the excitement building, and we want you to join us in making this an unforgettable year. The University of Utah is a special place, and I want to thank all of you, our dedicated Crimson Club members, for the way you support our student-athletes and our programs, and share in their success. GO UTES!!
