Big 12 no closer to championship game, expansion
The Big 12 appears no closer to adding a conference championship game than it did three weeks ago when it gained the right to host one.
Athletic directors from the Big 12's members met Thursday to address issues facing the conference. Among them was the potential addition of a conference title game, but commissioner Bob Bowlsby told reporters such a bout is "unlikely" to take place in 2016.
Bowlsby says there’s no recommendation for a conference championship game coming from the ADs at this time.

The other hot button subject in the Big 12 - expansion - also seems no closer to coming to fruition, despite Oklahoma president David Boren's constant campaign for it.
Texas AD Mike Perrin says he like he current composition of the Big 12 with 10 members.

Altogether, it seems that the athletic directors didn't accomplish a whole lot Thursday.
So. Meeting over. Not sure what the headline is today. Lots of nebulous, indecisive, consultation-type stuff, but zero decisions. #Big12
