By Meghan Mitchell | Sports Editor

After two days of deliberation, the Big 12 Board of Directors unanimously decided Monday not to expand its conference and to remain with the current 10 universities.

“We had a very thoughtful and candid meeting which showed a great deal of strength in the conference,” said Dr. David L. Boren, president of the University of Oklahoma and chair of the Big 12 Board of Directors, in a press conference Monday. “We have a strong commitment from every single member of the board to the cohesiveness and stability of the conference.”

According to Boren, the Big 12 plans to continue to look for ways to enhance the league through new technologies and resources.
