Breaking News: The Big 12 will play a round-robin conference schedule beginning in 2011


By Dan Harralson

The Big 12 just took a page out of the current Pac-10's scheduling format: a conference round-robin format beginning next football season. Big 12 league athletic directors, on late Wednesday, approved a nine-game conference schedule that will pit every team against the other every season. This has drawn their conclusion of no need for a championship game since every team plays each other and has withdrawn any future expansion (to regain the minimum amount of conference teams to field a conference championship game.) Conference spokesman, Bob Burda, said future schedules will be released Thursday.
