Frankly, from my point of view — and many points of view — I think that’s where we’re heading.” So will the Big 12 move to 12 or 14 schools? “I’m not going to speculate,” Gee said. “I’ve always been very bullish on expansion. But I want to make sure we get the right teams with the right cultures. If there’s 12, that’s great. If there’s 14, that’s great. But I want to make sure we do it right — and get the right group of people together.” The next step in expansion apparently falls to Bowlsby and his staff. “I think the commissioner will be doing his due diligence between now and our next scheduled meeting, which I think is in October,” Gee said. “I suspect he’ll be prepared to discuss recommendations with us then.”[/I] - See more at: [URL="http://www.wvgazettemail.com/article/20160725/GZ020401/160729695#sthash.ByyWoH3B.dpuf"]Mitch Vingle: WVU’s Gee: Big 12 doesn’t want to be predators[/URL] [/QUOTE]
