Summary

In a stunning development, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby has outlined for everyone just how ESPN orchestrated, along with OU and Texas, their departure from the Big 12. And it's deeper than that. Bowlsby says he has irrefutable evidence ESPN is courting at least one other school and working with another conference to take 3-5 of the remaining eight.

Thursday, it's expected SEC Presidents will vote 14-0 for OU and Texas to join their league.
