[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129461001, member: 1428007"] It is getting tiresome. Expansion isn't determined simply by that vote. It may delay expansion in the BIG 12, but that isn't necessarily the case and they've never said that. They've said they realize they are at a disadvantage without a CCG and the decision will be whether to live with that disadvantage or do something such as expansion. Stop trying to spin it otherwise--the public record is there. excerpt: “We don’t think we ought to be forced into adding schools in order to have a championship game,[B] but it could end up that way,” Bowlsby told [URL='http://ESPN.com']ESPN.com[/URL] last month.[/B] [B][URL]http://www.journalinquirer.com/sports/new-year-new-conference/article_0e7ced60-b044-11e5-9ecb-932b9bdc9547.html[/URL][/B] [B]or this info from sports illustrated:[/B] [I]Here's the prevailing thought around the Big 12: If its legislation proposal gets shot down, there's a roughly 70% chance the league will expand during the next year or two in order to get a title game.
