| *Big 12 hoping for more lenient bowl requirements*
|
INDIANAPOLIS(AP) -- Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe wants the NCAA
to treat teams with 6-6 records the same as teams with winning
records when it comes to bowl games.
Under current rules, teams with .500 records can receive a bowl
bid only if the school's conference already has a deal with a
bowl and all other teams with winning records have been invited
to postseason games.
Beebe's proposal would eliminate those exceptions and permit 6-6
teams to be accepted immediately.
Consideration of the Big 12's proposal could lead to a broader
discussion about the bowl system.
The Big 12's proposal is expected to be discussed during the
NCAA convention in January.
