Here's
the conversation with Kirk Bohls. Discuss what you think it means.
Some quotes:
"We have a lot of initiatives going on, but as I've said before, I'm going to keep conversations between me & people I've had them with. We have lot of moving parts, but what I said about national competitiveness is close to a good answer as I can give you on this topic too. We need to do the things that will optimize ability to keep pace with competition at the national level and so our board has been very engaged & President Fenves & Boren are both leaders."
"ISU President Leath serves on NCAA Board of Directors so we have good representation among Pres & Chancellors & they are thoughtful & as engaged as they've ever been in my time here with the Big 12 Conference."
Bowlsby on Houston win over OU: "I'm not getting into talking about any members who are under consideration. It's not SHORT term discussion. How you do in 1 game or 1 season isn't particularly material. We are looking at metrics on deeper level than that & I'll leave it at that."
Bowlsby on non-revenue sports for potential candidates: "Our aspiration is same for all of our sports as it is for football. This year we won 3 Natl Titles, finished in top 4 in 16 sports, had 3 of last 8 in baseball, won softball champ, in final in volleyball. We had a team in the Final 4, had a team in Final 4 in football, aspirationally we want to be just as good as we can be everywhere we play. Despite fact that media attention is on football & possibly men's/women's bball during the year, some baseball, those that work on inside & on campus, we want to be as good as we can be in everything we sponsor. If we look at adding new members, they are going to have bear up to that pressure because our league is about broad based programming & about winning championships"
