Big 12 media days have come and gone, leaving the conference in a 180 degree directional switch from whence they started. The Big 12’s position was that something bad would happen to Baylor and that the conference’s expansion plans were put to bed for the time being.
Furthering the Baylor position, Tuesday, Dennis Dodds wrote that Baylor’s relationship with the Big 12 was “strained, potentially beyond repair”. Berry Tramel of the Oklahoman wrote about Baylor from the Big 12’s perspective, stating that the conference would like to “wash its hands of Waco”.
Tuesday morning, USA Today’s George Schroeder tweeted that the Big 12 was going to table expansion consideration, perhaps for several years.
