Unless they get special approval from the ncaa to do that with 10 teams, it won't happen unless they expand. Last I heard, they were told no.

They received approval for a 10 team CCG several months back. I thought I posted the article in this thread.
It's a done deal.
As an aside, I hope they go back to rotating the location of the conference championship game but I could see them making a deal with the Cowboys' organization in order to hold the Big XII title game in AT&T Stadium for a 10-15 year period.

Here's the article.

Rule change allows Big 12 title game but conference undecided
January 14, 2016
The Big 12 now has the ability to conduct a conference championship football game without expanding from 10 teams, thanks to a vote Wednesday at the NCAA convention in San Antonio.
The Division I council adopted a proposal allowing FBS conferences with less than 12 members to hold conference title games between the top two teams in its standings, so long as the conference plays a full round-robin regular-season schedule.
The vote by the council passed 7-2. The Pac-12 didn't vote but later said it supported the change.
Bowlsby said the ACC and AAC voted against the compromise proposal on Wednesday, but an NCAA spokesperson said the commissioner misspoke as the SEC was the conference besides the AAC to vote against the proposal.
Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said it is too early to speculate whether this vote means the Big 12 will resume playing conference title games as it did for its first 15 years of existence.

Ya, unless they want that extra $1B by expanding for the next 8 years, it's dead. Then they'll freak out in the next renegotiation when Big 10 and ACC are $20M more per share and they feel the need to revisit it.

Pretty embarrassing that he's still employed at Baylor at all.
Baylor's handling of this situation just confirms that they value money and notoriety above anything else.
If this were a run of the mill person in Starr's position they would have ran the guy off long ago. But since Starr is a pretty well-known public figure it feels like they're doing everything in their power to keep him associated with the university. Like he's one of their crown jewels.

Doesn't he still have a position in the law school at Baylor?

I know that at one point it was being reported that he was still going to be teaching at Baylor. Not sure if that changed or not.

He's still a law school professor at Baylor.
Like I said, it's like they're doing everything in their power to ensure that they get to tout to alumni and potential students, "hey, come to Baylor. We have a celeb on our staff."

He is their biggest fundraiser and he knows where all the bodies are buried.
