This week in Dallas, Big 12 presidents will vote on a rule change that could return the year of eligibility that the Sooner quarterback lost when he transferred to Oklahoma from Texas Tech after his freshman season.
Future expansion will be the hottest topic on the agenda of Big 12 officials when they get together in Dallas this week, but the rule that requires all transfers to sit out a season when they transfer to another school within the conference is also on the agenda to be revisited.
A year ago at this time, the same group voted to deny Oklahoma’s request to wave the rule in the case of Mayfield and return the year of eligibility he lost in 2014 when he enrolled at Oklahoma and walked on the football team.
