The Big 12 held two days worth of meetings last week in Phoenix and people listened carefully.
Consider that progress.
No one among the football coaches and athletic directors dismissed out of hand the possibility of an expansion and a football title game and a conference TV network. Or even all three.
While it's a stretch to stay Big 12 expansion is probable, it may be more likely now than any time since the addition of TCU and West Virginia.
Many questions need to be answered, both internally and by the Big 12's TV consultants when the conference ADs and board of governors (presidents and chancellors) meet in Las Colinas from May 31 to June 3.
