When Oklahoma president David Boren recently said the Big 12 should explore expanding back to 12 teams, some viewed it as a firing shot. But could it become a parting shot?
Boren believes selectively expanding to 12 teams is in the best interest of the Big 12, which currently is the only conference among the Power 5 to field fewer than 12 teams. It has just 10. It is also the lone conference not to play a conference football championship game, which became a major issue last season in the College Football Playoff committee's selection of the four teams for the inaugural playoff.
