Bowlsby knows end of expansion talk is far from the end of questions for Big 12

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Even though expansion may be gone from the agenda of Big 12 presidents, the aftermath and implications of remaining at 10 linger.

“Has it only been a week?” Bowlsby said at Big 12 men’s basketball media day.

Old topics took on new life Tuesday from the conference’s pro rata clause, which played a key role in expansion speculation, to Bowlsby’s acknowledgement that significant discussion of individual candidates occurred at the board of directors meeting last week.

A decision is expected by early November, Bowlsby said, about whether to play divisions in football with the return of a conference title game for 2017.
