Football Four podcast: Big 12 expansion changes the landscape

The landscape of college sports could be about to change dramatically.

Following a meeting of Big 12 presidents, Oklahoma President David Boren announced that Commissioner Bob Bowlsby has been authorized to begin evaluating schools interested in joining the Big 12 and said the league could grow by as many as four teams.

So what is the Big 12 looking for? Boren mentioned all the typical factors including quality of overall athletic program, fan base, television market and academic reputation. The immediate sense within the industry is that the race is wide open because the Big 12 could take its expansion in any number of directions.

Paste BN Sports' Dan Wolken and George Schroeder discuss the league's future.
