The Big 12 now has options regarding a 13th conference championship game. The question is whether it actually wants to exercise them.
On Wednesday, the NCAA DI council approved the long-awaited proposal allowing Football Bowl Subdivision conferences with under 12 members to hold conference title games in football. The two adopted policies are:
- A game between division champions of a member conference that is divided into two divisions (as equally balanced as possible), each of which conducts round-robin, regular-season competition among the members of that division; or,
- A game between the top two teams in the conference standings following a full round-robin regular-season schedule of competition among all members of the conference.
