Big 12 source: schedule “getting close” but not done

CAMPUS CORNER — Perhaps the idea of the Big 12 schedule coming out today was merely wishful thinking on the part of Texas Tech AD Kirby Hocutt.

Someone within the league told me this morning that officials are “getting close,” but they’re still not quite there. So maybe West Virginia’s legal matters with the Big East are not fully resolved — or at least as far along as Hocutt thinks they are. Can’t blame Hocutt for his optimism, but it sounds as if there’s a good chance the wait continues into next week.

Again, on OU’s front, the Sooners are essentially set on their pair of open non-conference dates — it’s just a matter of the Big 12 schedule coming out first, before those are truly finalized. And maybe there’s still wiggle room to keep OU-Texas on Oct. 6, but, at last check, it sounded as if it was going back a week to Oct. 13.
