Big 12 will not add any new members, sticking with 10 schools

Presidents began leaving about 1:45 p.m. The relatively early departure was a viewed as a bad sign for expansion.

a championship game.

I wish all conferences were 10 teams and the championships were replaced by another round of playoffs (have eight "power" conferences who's winners play for the title.

And I miss the Southwest Conference! There were never more than nine members.
