The most strident and powerful voice in favor of Big 12 expansion has a significant opponent at his own school.
Max Weitzenhoffer, the Oklahoma Sooners board of regents chairman, told CBS Sports he will try to convince influential OU president David Boren to ditch Big 12 expansion.
"I can tell you I'm not alone," Weitzenhoffer said.
The seven-member board, which serves as the school's governing body, will meet Thursday. At that time, Weitzenhoffer said, he will seek clarification on the board's input regarding the school's vote on expansion.
At least one other regents member, Oklahoma City Thunder chairman Clay Bennett, is against expansion, Weitzenhoffer said.
