Bob Bowlsby steps down as Big 12 Commissioner

The Big 12 Conference announced that Commissioner Bob Bowlsby intends on stepping down later this year. He's held the position for the last decade.

“After more than 40 years of serving in leadership roles in intercollegiate athletics, including the last 10 with the Big 12, and given the major issues that college sports in general and the Big 12 specifically will address in the next several years, I have reached a natural transition point in my tenure as Commissioner, as well as in my career,” Bowlsby said in a statement.
