There are 14 schools taking part this week in North Texas. There are representatives from future members BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF. There is also the lingering presence of Texas and Oklahoma. The league’s only football national champions are still three years away from their scheduled departures to the SEC. Plus, Bowlsby announced his retirement earlier this year. He plays to stay on until is replacement is found, and figures he’s down to having 30-90 days left on the job.
