A tie in the Big 12 voting means Baker Mayfield has just one season left at Oklahoma.
Mayfield was forced to lose a year of eligibility when he transferred from Texas Tech to Oklahoma. Had the rule change gotten one more vote in favor, Mayfield would have had two seasons left to play at Oklahoma.
Since he lost a year of eligibility while sitting out the 2014 season in the Big 12, he would be able to transfer and play at a school in another conference as a graduate transfer in 2017 if he doesn't choose to go to the NFL.
Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said opposition to the rule was for recruiting reasons. Heaven forbid a player get rewarded with a scholarship at another school (Mayfield was a walk-on at Texas Tech).
Bowlsby also said it was fair to wonder about the legitimacy of any requests by Baylor signees to get out of their letters of intent after the chaos at the school.
Texas athletic director Mike Perrin thinks its prudent if the Big 12 doesn't expand.
But a final decision may not come for a while.
Or an even longer while.
In non-Big 12 news, CBS announced matchups for some of its SEC broadcasts.
And finally, Tennessee's old Adidas uniforms have found a new home. In Israel. The school recently switched from Adidas to Tennessee.
