NCAA Approves New Football Conference Championship Game Format

The DI Council approves a compromise in its vote, paving the way for a Big 12 Championship Game and quieting realignment talks.

The NCAA voted on Wednesday to approve a Big 12 Conference proposal allowing for conference championship games for conferences with less than 12 teams. The move paves the road for the Big 12 to add a football championship game despite only having 10 teams. It also quiets, for the time being, realignment talks that would have forced the league to add two teams before it could hold a league championship game.
