INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe wants the NCAA to treat teams with 6-6 records the same as teams with winning records when it comes to bowl games. Under current rules, teams with .500 records can receive a bowl bid only if the school's conference already has a deal with a bowl and all other teams with winning records have been invited to postseason games. Beebe's proposal would eliminate those exceptions and permit 6-6 teams to be accepted immediately. Consideration of the Big 12's proposal could lead to a broader discussion about the bowl system. The Big 12's proposal is expected to be discussed during the NCAA convention in January.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
