Title: "Report: Big 12's Commissioner Dan Beebe on way out" Post by: Chechem on September 22, 2011, 02:56:01 PM Quote Big 12 Conference commissioner Dan Beebe is working on an agreement to leave his position, the Kansas City Star reported Wednesday night. The Star cited two sources with knowledge of Beebe's decision. The Oklahoman reported Tuesday that the University of Oklahoma would commit to staying in the Big 12 only if the conference ousted Beebe and added regulations on ESPN's Longhorn Network. Edwards: What Realignment Means for BCS College football fans hoping realignment would end in the creation of a playoff system will be disappointed, but expansion still could lead to changes to the BCS system, writes Brad Edwards. Story Insider Beebe was one of five BCS commissioners absent from the Collegiate Commissioner Association meetings Wednesday in Chicago, a source told ESPN.com's Andy Katz. The only BCS conference commissioner in attendance was Jim Delany of the Big Ten -- the only BCS conference not dealing with expansion. The source said the CCA expects Beebe to leave his position, and former Big Eight commissioner Chuck Neinas to replace him. http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/7002818/dan-beebe-working-leave-job-big-12-conference-commissioner-report-says |
