Gee's response
When reached on Monday, WVU president E. Gordon Gee was anything but shocked at the comments.“I think [the remarks] are fairly consistent with the thinking in the Big 12,” he said.
“It’s nothing new. I’m in favor of expansion. I think he’s expressing what we’ve been thinking.
”Those words are significant. And so is this from Gee, a member of the Big 12’s expansion committee: “I think the notion of going to 12 [schools] is most likely.”
“Some of these issues will be discussed and resolved in February,” Gee added. “It’s all part of a package.
”More significant yet. The league presidents and chancellors will meet Feb. 4-5. And both Boren and Gee are respected within that circle. Boren, especially, has much clout.
