Hoover: #Big12 expansion a slow process, but may be decided this summer [URL="http://thefranchiseok.com/big-12-expansion-a-slow-process-but-may-be-decided-this-summer/"]Big 12 expansion a slow process, but may be decided this summer[/URL] "If Big 12 leadership split 5-5 on what seems like a common sense vote whether to allow walk-ons to transfer within the league and not lose a year of eligibility (the so-called “Baker Mayfield Rule” proposal, which was shot down), then how in the world will this conference ever come to a consensus on whether to expand — or which schools they want to expand with? It ultimately will be Bowlsby’s job to facilitate that consensus. “Eventually it will be,” he said. “I think in the end, it’s the decision of the chancellors and presidents. I’ve spent time over the last day and a half talking to our ADs and talking to faculty reps and senior women’s administrators about the fact that this really is a presidents and chancellors decision, and once they go back to their campuses, they’re each going to undertake their own process in all likelihood. “That may be very inclusive and it may not be very inclusive, and there’s room for that in each campus. So I’ve encouraged them to get in front of their CEOs and provide their input, but they may use that input differently. Eventually, sometime later in the summer, I expect we’ll get together once institutions have coalesced around their choices, and then we’ll make some decisions.” [/QUOTE]
