There was a rather high level of anxiety on Twitter Tuesday afternoon among locals in anticipation of the Big 12 Conference discussing expansion during a conference call featuring commissioner Bob Bowlsby and University of Oklahoma president David Boren.
As it happened, nothing official was announced, although the Big 12 is planning to move forward in examining candidates for expansion, and could look to add as many as four schools.
