Gee is not only WVU’s president, he’s also a member of the Big 12’s expansion committee. I bring that up in case you haven’t noticed that a couple possible league expansion candidates have been faring very well this season. Memphis is up to No. 15 in the most recent Associated Press football poll and Houston is No. 18. Might the rise help those teams’ candidacy?
“We’re being very cautious,” Gee said. “Right now we’re happy with 10 teams. There’s no template to measure anything.”
He referred all other comments to Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby. One note to keep in mind on a couple different levels though: Houston coach Tom Herman was once hired by Gee at Ohio State. Herman was the offensive coordinator there.
