As the NCAA convention gets under way in San Antonio a ruling is expected on proposed changes to the rules that would allow the Big 12 conference to stage a championship game.Various schemes and compromises are on the table that would allow not only the Big 12, but all FBS conferences with just 10 teams to stage a championship game.
The NCAA rule in question dates from 1987 and requires that championship games be played within a 12-team framework for conferences and between two divisions of at least six teams each.So far, the Big 12 has been adamant that it does not want to add members or be forced to play in divisions, opting instead to seek some sort of compromise that allows for round robin play.
