Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby responded on Wednesday to the formation of the three-league alliance between the Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC, telling the Action Network in a statement that — at least for now — the “practical impacts of the arrangement are yet to be seen.”
“The Big 12 Conference has every expectation that we will continue to compete at the highest levels and will be intimately and actively involved in the national athletics agenda,” he added.
Bowlsby’s response comes after his league was left out of the alliance, leaving the Big 12 in a lurch with OU and Texas leaving for the SEC and the Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC joining forces.
