WWE Makes Strides Into the Mainstream Sports Arena With Big 12 Conference Deal

WWE has a lot of cross-promotional efforts going on, and they also know how to strike a deal with branding. The company recently broke out NFL branded championship belts, and even more sporting crossovers are coming in the pipeline.

WWE is on the verge of breaking out a new partnership deal, this time with the Big 12 Conference. That is a huge property in college football alone, as many fans flock to those games.

Wrestle Votes reports that WWE is about to announce a deal with the Big 12 Conference. This will include merchandise and so much more, as another step toward branching out into the mainstream sporting world.

I’m told WWE and the Big 12 Conference are nearing an agreement which would allow WWE to produce licensed Big 12 merchandise focused around the upcoming college football bowl season. Another big step in the sports world for WWE.
