The Big 12 made it official during a press conference at 5:30 that the conference will not be expanding. David Boren of Oklahoma said, “We decided after very thorough discussion we would remain at 10 members.”
Earlier today, the Big 12 Presidents gathered to consider expansion. Any candidate required eight votes to join the conference, and no team received the requisite number of votes.
In a year where I had a lot of misses, I did get this one right on August 17th where I guessed the Big 12 would stay at 10.
I’ll have more on this later, but I believe this is the right decision.
