Oklahoma President David Boren is now opposed to Big 12 expansion, threatening the push to add new members, multiple industry sources confirmed.
The opposition of Boren, who serves as chairman of the Big 12’s board of directors, is significant. He had pushed expansion publicly when few schools wanted to pursue the option and publicly suggested the Big 12 was “psychologically disadvantaged” by only having 10 members.
