Big 12 Meetings Over
Jake Trotter @Jake_Trotter 7m7 minutes ago
Texas prez Greg Fenves left meeting with his bags 15 minutes ago. Texas Tech prez Lawrence Schovanec leaving now, said meeting has concluded
Jake Trotter @Jake_Trotter 4m4 minutes ago
Bob Bowlsby says meeting is over.
Could they have already voted? That didn't take very long. If they did, wouldn't the presidents stick around to discuss with athletic directors?

Sounds to me like there won't be any expansion.

Could it mean they are just going to delay again?

They aren't going to walk out of the meeting and spill the beans when there's a press conference scheduled for later today.

Good. Don't let the ADs get in to "talk them down".
Impossible to predict based on this. Guess we'll just have to wait.

RE: Big 12 Meetings Over
Maybe they made a decision on conference calls before the meeting, talked about it over dinner last night, voted this morning as a formality, and then broke up the meeting in time for everyone to catch an afternoon flight home.
University presidents are just like the rest of us, they want to bolt out of an out-of-town meeting and get to the airport and catch an earlier flight any time they can. Even if they are expanding, they don't need to have all 10 presidents at Bowlsby's media conference.

This is like when Salome got down to her last veil. The anticipation is killing me (or it would, if I cared what happens).

RE: Big 12 Meetings Over
No expansion. They would have kept everyone around until the presser if they were expanding to make sure that nobody could have possibly spilled the beans to the media early.
At least the AAC won't get ripped apart now.

Well ... they were meeting at the airport ... but yes, point taken. No need for the presidents to stick around.
Bowlsby's job is to make the announcement.

If they expand, my prediction is as follows: Cincinnati all-sports, BYU football-only.
Set up divisions:
WVU
Cincinnati
KU
KSU
Baylor
TCU
Texas
Texas Tech
BYU
Iowa St.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma St.

The Big12 is doing their best to make the Big East look organized and efficient.

Only issue is that this creates another ACC problem with the issue being trying to remember which school is in which division. North/South or East/West makes the most sense even if unbalanced.

RE: Big 12 Meetings Over
Remember, ACC and SEC said they are not expanding and boom, they expanded. SEC said they will not expand before Missouri and Texas A&M bolted from the Big 12. ACC said they were not expanding and then they expand with Syracuse and Pittsburgh. These guys in the conferences offices like to spin false tails and reports about these things. I do think they will take 6 schools. Boise State and BYU football only on one side. That would boast their football SOS up better. Cincinnati, East Carolina, Memphis and Colorado State will boast their football and basketball up even more.
