Oklahoma President David Boren made no secret about his agenda when he became chairman of the Big 12 board of directors two years ago.
Boren's Big 12 successor, West Virginia President E. Gordon Gee, has his own checklist as he heads into the conference's spring meetings next week in Irving. It's not as ambitious as Boren's foray into expansion and a football title game and a conference network but something that Gee sees as important for the conference's next step.
"I think what David really wanted to do is make sure we had a voice and we had a clarity in terms of who we are," Gee said during a Thursday visit to Dallas.
