They are:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mitch Barnhart, AD, Kentucky, SEC</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tim Day, FAR, Iowa State, Big 12</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dan Guerrero, AD, UCLA, Pac-12</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">John Hartwell, AD, Troy, Sun Belt</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blake James, AD, Miami, ACC</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Paul Krebs, AD, New Mexico, MWC</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Warde Manuel, AD, UConn, American Athletic Conference</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Jim Phillips, AD, Northwestern, Big Ten</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Judy Rose, AD, Charlotte, Conference USA</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tom Wistrcill, AD, Akron, MAC</li> </ul>FBS independents, like BYU and Army, do not have specific voices.Typically, these votes don't even occur until April, but since this proposal is "time sensitive." the NCAA council agreed to hold this vote earlier, per an NCAA spokesperson.How does the voting actually work?Each FBS conference has one vote, but the votes from the Power 5 conferences (Big Ten, SEC, ACC, Big 12 and Pac-12) count double, meaning there are 15 votes total.If a proposal gets an 85 percent majority (in this case, 13 out of 15 votes), the decision is final.If a proposal gets between eight and 12 votes, it will pass, but it will be subjected to a 60-day trial period in which schools can request to rescind. A super-majority seems unlikely, so it is possible that we won't get a final decision until March.<a href="http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/1/6/10718972/big-12-expansion-ncaa-conference-title-game-byu-houston-cincinnati?_ga=1.40161122.1588570994.1452467795">http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/1/6/10718972/big-12-expansion-ncaa-conference-title-game-byu-houston-cincinnati?_ga=1.40161122.1588570994.1452467795</a></blockquote>
