"The Football Oversight Committee recommended a number of proposals the Council agreed to sponsor, including the measure that would allow conferences to decide how to determine a conference champion in the sport.
The proposal would exempt a conference championship game from counting toward the maximum number of contests, no matter how many members belong to a conference.
In recommending the sponsorship, the oversight committee, chaired by Big 12 Conference Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, noted that football is the only sport that requires a minimum number of conference members (12) in order to exempt a conference championship contest.
Bowlsby said the move would create a more stable conference membership environment. The Big 12 was a major advocate for changing the rules regulating conference championships in football. It has only 10 members.
