It was reported on Wednesday that all four new additions to the Big 12 Conference will join for the 2023-24 seasons.
With the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners still part of the conference until the 2025-26 calender at the latest, there would be 14 teams in all. Given that college football plays just 12 regular-season games, it would be impossible to keep the round-robin style of scheduling.
As we look to project the Big 12 in 2023 and beyond, Longhorns Wire takes a look at how it could all break down.
- Likely a nine-game schedule
- Three nonconference matchups
- Rotating cross-divisional matchups
- Oklahoma joins the North, Texas joins the South to help with the transition to a 12-team league after leaving for the SEC
