Big 12 to Begin Exploring Conference Expansion
The Big 12 announced Tuesday at media days that they will immediately begin exploring possible expansion candidates in a vote that was reportedly unanimous.
Oklahoma President David Boren, a strong and consistent voice who has advocated for expansion and a television network, announced the decision in a teleconference late Tuesday afternoon.
“It’s a forward step, a positive step,” David Boren said via ESPN.com. “Not yet a decision, but it shows momentum on the board to consider [expansion] as a possibility.”
As for the number of schools in expansion, the number of schools that could be added to the conference is said to be between 2 and 4.
