[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129478291, member: 1428007"] From ESPN--and some of you should read the bold highlight here: excerpt: In essence, the proposal was almost exclusively a vote about the future of the Big 12 and whether the conference would be given the green light to implement a championship game at its own discretion. A “no” vote would’ve forced the Big 12 to expand by two schools in order to add a title game, pitting the two divisional winners against one another. [B]But in light of the proposal’s adoption, any expansion talk will probably be put back on the back burner for the time being [/B]and the debate on whether the Big 12 should re-institute a conference championship game will be propelled to the forefront.

After they know what the Big Ten is getting, things may change again. [/QUOTE]
