KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The top six regular-season finishers in the Big 12’s regular-season race will get first-round byes in the 10-team conference basketball tournament.
The new rules, adopted Wednesday at the conference meetings, will apply to both men and women’s basketball. The women’s tounament will also run concurrently with the men’s – Wednesday through Saturday.
The league also voted to sponsor championships in rowing and equestrian, adding both as women’s sports. This will help schools neutralize football’s impact on Title IX gender requirements. Only four Big 12 schools currently have rowing teams and only four field equestrian teams.
