=== Women's sponsored sports by university === Below are the women's sports sponsored by each member institution. The only women's sports with full participation by the entire conference are basketball, cross country, soccer, tennis, indoor track and outdoor track. Oklahoma State is the only member that does not sponsor volleyball, and only Utah and West Virginia do not sponsor golf. Beach volleyball (4 full members) and equestrian (3 full members, 1 affiliate) have the lowest participation, each with 4 total members. With Utah dropping beach volleyball after the spring 2025 season,<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://utahutes.com/news/2025/4/29/utah-athletics-to-discontinue-beach-volleyball-program-at-conclusion-of-academic-year |title=Utah Athletics to Discontinue Beach Volleyball Program at Conclusion of Academic Year |publisher=Utah Utes |date=April 29, 2025 |access-date=May 3, 2025}}</ref> future Big 12 sponsorship of beach volleyball is uncertain.
