Their commish is now locked in until then, too.The Big 12’s grant of rights expires exactly when Bowlsby’s deal does.The Big 12’s presidents clearly think he’s doing a good job. They’re just not sure he’ll have a league to run beyond the last day of the contract he just signed.When the grant of rights expires, the Big 12 might expire, too.Nothing’s certain. Predicting how the conference landscape will look in eight years is difficult if not impossible, and the Big 12’s plans might change (and then change again, and again) in the years between now and June 30, 2025.So it’s possible that some of the Big 12’s teams will get poached by other conferences once the grant of rights nears its expiration. Given that the league has only 10 teams, it really can’t shrink further and survive as a powerful athletic conference — especially if any of the teams leaving happened to be powers like Texas and Oklahoma.If the Big 12 went away, its teams would probably scatter all around the country.Many more boring big 12 opinion replies are welcome, with thoughts and possibilities. Expiration is only 6 years from expiring.This board needs a switch from Butt-kaineer circle jerk replies and threads. So here is a repeat realignment boredom thread.</blockquote>
