Speaking of expanding the conference:

“The board hasn’t even made the decision that it wants to take members, there may be other options available to us and I think sequentially it makes sense to pursue those before thinking about individual membership.”

And what in the world would those options be, Bob?? Hunker down with eight teams for 4 years and collect checks from Bevo and Schooner and pray that some A5 conference will come and save all 8 remaining members??

Definitely, the 8 schools are still in the denial phase of grief and loss. Bowlsby almost sounds like he wants to kill this conference. He still talks like keeping revenues the same after OU and UT depart is even possible for the Big 12.

These guys need counseling.
