The back and forth saga that is Big 12 expansion took a left turn Monday afternoon, as conference commissioner Bob Bowlsby announced that expansion was off the table...
... for now.
After the called meeting ended far earlier than anticipated Monday in Dallas, rumors began swirling that the Big 12 had voted to not expand. Hours later, the rumors were confirmed, as Bowlsby took the podium to say that not only was the conference not expanding, but implied it was a non-issue going forward.
"We do not consider it an active agenda item," Bowlsby said when asked if expansion was still on the table.
