Imagine the University of Texas playing a conference game at Houston. Or Cincinnati hosting Oklahoma in a league affair.
In a scheduling model expected to be adopted by the Big 12, this is a distinct possibility.
The league is finalizing a future scheduling format that features no divisions, protects long-standing rivalries and includes Texas and Oklahoma in both the 2023 and ’24 seasons.
Conference executives agreed to the temporary, two-year format during meetings earlier this week in Dallas, sources tell Sports Illustrated. They have not officially adopted the model and are still finalizing details.
