MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said expansion candidates were disappointed by the league's decision to remain at 10 members but didn't question the integrity of the process.
Bowlsby called the presidents and chancellors of the 11 schools being considered by the Big 12 on Monday afternoon after the league's board meeting adjourned in Grapevine, Texas.
"I didn't have anybody tell me that they thought it had been a waste of time," Bowlsby told ESPN.com Saturday before the TCU-West Virginia game. "They thought they were treated respectfully, and that was certainly my aspiration. I wanted to keep them informed.
