Big 12 Expansion: Conference Leadership Votes No-Go

Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby and Oklahoma president and Big 12 board chairman David Boren announced in a news conference Monday afternoon following a meeting with the university presidents that the conference would remain at its current structure of 10 member schools.

USA Today Sports reported today that the school presidents were expected to discuss potential candidates Houston, Brigham Young, Cincinnati, SMU, Air Force, Central Florida, Colorado State, Rice, South Florida and Tulane.

OU President Boren said in the news conference, however, that there “was no discussion of individual schools in the sense of taking votes or trying to sense support for schools.
