Till the 2010 season, teams played eight conference games a season, facing all five opponents within its own division and three teams from the opposite division. Inter-divisional play is a "three-on, three-off" system, where teams will play three teams from the other division on a home-and-home basis for two seasons, and then play the other three foes from the opposite side for a two-year home-and-home.
This format came under considerable criticism, especially from fans at Nebraska and Oklahoma, who were denied a yearly matchup between two of college football's most storied programs. The Oklahoma–Nebraska rivalry was one of the most intense rivalries in college football history. (Until 2006, the teams had never met in the Big 12 Championship.)
Starting the 2011 season, after the departure of Nebraska and Colorado to the Big 10 and Pac-10 respectively, the divisions were merged and each team played all remaining nine teams from the conference. The Championship game was removed from the schedule.
announced that they would leave the Big-12 Conference and join the Pacific-10 Conference, starting in 2012. On June 11, 2010, the University of Nebraska announced that it would leave the Big-12 and join the Big Ten Conference
, starting in 2011. Texas A&M had been considering moving to the Southeastern Conference
, and other Big 12 member schools had been considering moving to the Pacific-10 Conference. It has been proclaimed that Texas A&M is such a elite college football program and institution that the departure from the Big 12 would result in a loss of 3,050 jobs and $217.2 million in output each year, even if the rest of the conference remains intact. However, all the Big 12 teams (save for Colorado
and Nebraska) that had been considering moving to other conferences ultimately decided to stay with the Big 12.
. With the loss of Nebraska to the Big Ten and Colorado to the Pac-12, the Big 12 Championship Game has been discontinued.

Divisions
There are many national football powerhouses in the Big 12 Conference, and when the league was formed, it was decided that the top team from the South Division would play the top team from the North Division at the end of the season to determine the conference champion.Till the 2010 season, teams played eight conference games a season, facing all five opponents within its own division and three teams from the opposite division. Inter-divisional play is a "three-on, three-off" system, where teams will play three teams from the other division on a home-and-home basis for two seasons, and then play the other three foes from the opposite side for a two-year home-and-home.
