According to a report from Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports, the Big 12 is heading toward a split… into divisions.
With 14 teams expected to be in the conference for the 2023 season, conference commissioner Bob Bowlsby is engaged with Athletic Directors to create two seven team divisions for the 2023-2025 seasons, the three years that both Texas and Oklahoma are expected to remain a part of the Big 12 prior to their departure to the SEC. Whether divisions remain after that season, when the league goes to 12 teams, remains to be seen. Another note: the current Big 12 television contract with Fox and ESPN ends in 2025.
