[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129494566, member: 1428007"] What Boren wants to happen in the upcoming meetings: excerpt: The 74-year-old Boren says it won't be a "shootout at the OK corral," and he doesn't expect any votes to take place on those issues. "I'd like to plant the seeds for a resolution," Boren said. "I hope that resolution will not be a shootout. I hope that resolution will be one where everyone reaches a common goal as to what we're going to do." Boren wants to accelerate the process without rushing it so the Big 12 can have some of the same opportunities as schools in other Power Five conferences. "What I hope we'll do is do a lot of talking about it and hope that we get some kind of a timetable laid out in front of us, during which time we'll act," he said. "If not, it'll be 10 years from now that we decide whether or not we're going to do this. Let's hope this is going to be in the next few months to a year or whatever."
