The Big 12 issued an internal memo of talking points for all conference officials after announcing on Monday night that the conference would decline expansion, ESPN reported Tuesday evening.
According to the report, the first two items of the memo stated that all officials "(i)ndicate the Board arrived at a 'Unanimous Consensus' and say "the Board was unanimous in its desire and commitment to stay at 10 members."
The Big 12 requires approval from eight of its 10 schools to allow the addition of new schools to the conference, but Bowlsby said no votes were ever taken.
