Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione Comments on Big 12 Expansion

The Big 12 expansion, seen as necessary by some members for the long-term viability of the conference, is not happening any time soon.

"There aren't any signs that we'll talk anymore about expansion for a little while," Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione told Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports. "We don't have a timeline on it."

The Big 12 has been stuck at 10 full-time members since Colorado and Nebraska left in 2011. West Virginia and TCU were brought in as replacements for the departing Missouri and Texas A&M, which went to the SEC.

For the past half-decade, the Big 12 has struggled to keep up with other Power Five conferences—particularly in football.
