Big 12 football title game in 2016 unlikely after ADs decline proposal | Fort Worth Star Telegram
A championship game doesn't make sense unless they expand, and this signals that expansion truly isn't an option right now.
Big 12 athletic directors did not recommend a proposal to add a conference championship game in football during Thursday’s meeting, making it unlikely that such a game would be added for the 2016 season, Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said.
Instead, Bowlsby said league administrators have enlisted a research firm to collect data on issues related to expansion and the most advantageous way, based on percentages, for Big 12 teams to consistently produce a participant in the College Football Playoff.

“I just want to do whatever I can to help the team,” Jones said. “If that happens to be special teams or defense when I’m called upon, be it safety or nickel, just whatever my role might be, and my role changes often. I just want to go out there and help my team win a Super Bowl championship.”
