A few weeks ago D-Bo made a public splash about the B12 needing to expand, posibly to UCONN or the Univ. of Houston. Born also wants a playoff game after the expansion and publicly stated he felt the league needed an exclusive TV contract similar to the SEC or B10. Of course there can't be a TV contract unless Texas agrees to deep six their exclusive ESPN Longhorn network deal.
Much was said locally on how Boren would be able to muscle this through by getting all the schools on board.

Last Friday at the league meeting in Dallas, Boren was told to quit talking publicly on such matters. Interesting that the Daily Disappointment or local radio had not a mention of this.

IRVING, Texas — Big 12 Conference leadership saw University of Oklahoma President David Boren’s comments, felt them, and now has reacted to them.
On Friday at league headquarters, commissioner Bob Bowlsby and chairman of the board of directors Kirk Schulz of Kansas State expressed a new league directive — er, agreement — that no school CEO will express his views on Big 12 topics like expansion.
When the presidents and chancellors meeting adjourned, rather than stick around and politic for expansion to 12 members, a Big 12 network and a conference championship game, Boren got in his car and headed back to Norman.
