Texas President Bill Powers Will Reportedly Make Alignment Decisions For Longhorns

The Texas Board of Regents will convene on Monday, and one of the items on the agenda deals with conference alignment. As is typical in these expansion wars, Texas president Bill Powers will reportedly be given the authorization to make all decisions with regards to the Longhorns’ conference alignment going forward. And thus, the mysterious conference alignment agenda item is solved.

The report comes from Kirk Bohls.

Texas, at its Monday regents meeting, will authorize president Bill Powers to act in its best interest in picking its conference.

This phrase certainly sounds familiar. In fact, we’ve heard it many times before when conference expansion heats up and schools begin weighing their options. It does not, however, mean Texas is going anywhere.

Instead, Powers will be driving the bus, or not taking it out of the driveway at all. If the Big 12 falls apart, Powers could steer the Longhorns to the ACC or the Pac-1?, among many other places. Powers has a plethora of options, and a difficult decision ahead of him.
