DALLAS - Bob Bowlsby is about to begin year No. 5 as commissioner of the Big 12 Conference - a league that has not had a national football champion since 2005 and a national basketball champion since 2008, a fact he brought up during his opening remarks to kick off this year’s two-day football media day event at the Omni Dallas Hotel.
“We are all about winning championships, and we think we’ve got teams that are capable of doing that,” Bowlsby said.
Oklahoma was the marquee men’s program in the conference in 2015, the Sooners sending their football team to the College Football Playoff and their men’s basketball team to the Final Four.
