Re: Boren on Texas and LHN

ChuckCarltonDMN: Boren: “I would emphasize: I don’t think the Big 12 Conference is in any danger of falling apart,”

In an hour-long session with reporters following Thursday’s Board of Regents meeting, Boren said he believes a conference championship game should be accompanied by expanding the league back to 12 teams and creating a Big 12 television network.

“I would emphasize: I don’t think the Big 12 Conference is in any danger of falling apart,” Boren said. “I don’t. There’s no imminent danger of that, nor is there anybody even considering that, I don’t think. Our first choice by far in every possibility for us is to stay in the Big 12 Conference and enhance it, make it stronger, make it better.”

BYU would fit just fine in the Big XII. Issue is distance to WVU. -- HOO86 01/29/2016 11:39AM
