College football ranks behind only the NFL in terms of popularity in the United States. But despite hosting 39 NFL games since 2007, not to mention another three this month, London has never been the site of a major college football game. 'I'm thrilled that Big 12 football will be heading to London for the first-ever college football game at Wembley Stadium,' Yormark, a former NASCAR and Brooklyn Nets executive, said in a statement. 'I've often said my goal is for the Big 12 to be the most globally relevant conference in college athletics. Instead the Sun Devils went 11-3, won the Big 12 title and reached the College Football Playoff with a chance to win a national championship.
