Big 12 Expansion: Conference Leadership Votes No-Go
In a meeting of the conference board of directors in Dallas on Monday, the university presidents voted not to add any new teams, thus putting the kibosh – for the near term, at least – on Big 12 expansion.
Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby and Oklahoma president and Big 12 board chairman David Boren announced in a news conference Monday afternoon following a meeting with the university presidents that the conference would remain at its current structure of 10 member schools.
USA Today Sports reported today that the school presidents were expected to discuss potential candidates Houston, Brigham Young, Cincinnati, SMU, Air Force, Central Florida, Colorado State, Rice, South Florida and Tulane.
