Knowing full well that Big 12 expansion is the topic du jour, league commissioner Bob Bowlsby is bracing for some frank discussions at the upcoming athletic directors and presidents meetings in February.
Bowlsby said eight of 10 league members must approve adding any new teams. It’s clear Oklahoma President David Boren favors expansion, as does West Virginia’s E. Gordon Gee. But Bowlsby feels others are “probably all over the place still.”
“I think there are those who have come to the conclusion that we do need to get bigger. There are those who may feel otherwise,” Bowlsby said during a question-and-answer session with University of Texas students on Tuesday.
