Big 12 expansion decision coming Monday?

After months of speculation, the end, one way or another, could be near for one of the biggest off-field storylines in college football over the past several months.

The Big 12’s board of directors will gather Oct. 17 for a previously-scheduled meeting that will continue the conference’s discussion on expanding the league from 10 to 12 or 14 teams — or staying put — with some previously noting that that date could prove to be D-Day for the group. With that date fast approaching, that could very well be the case as Chuck Carlton of the Dallas Morning News writes that “[a] news conference has been scheduled after the… meeting, presumably to let everyone know whether the Big 12 will” expand or not.

Sources confirmed Wednesday that pretty much all the options are on the table, including the possibility of football-only membership with Houston and BYU the most likely members. The sources also confirmed that expansion has gone from likelihood about six weeks ago to maybe a 1-in-3 chance.

Re: Houston athletic director Hunter Yurachek said Herman will receive a $5 million bonus if Houston joins a Power Five conference.

If Houston doesn't get into the Big XII Herman is gone.

Re: Under the terms of the new contract, Herman's original buyout of $2.25 million gets extended a year to Feb. 28, 2019.

Actually he is probably gone anyway, $2.5M is just "chump change" to schools like Texas and LSU.

    I think what the b12 has been putting out to the public is to keep the other conferences away from their top selections while they fully vet them. All this garbage about not adding value and staying at 10 is just a smokescreen. Monday they will add at least 2 and possibly 4.

Who does this motherless Juggalo think is after them? The MAC?

Herman will be in a Power 5 job next year and it won't be because Houston got selected to join the Big8/10/12/14.
