Chuck Neinas “has applied to the Big 12 and is expected to be formally approved as the league's interim commissioner possibly as soon as Thursday,” CBS Sports reports.
“During an interview early Thursday, Neinas said he had been contacted by Big 12 representatives who inquired about his interest in replacing Dan Beebe. ‘I responded in the affirmative,’ said Neinas who then submitted his resume.
“Neinas also told CBSSports.com that his employment is an agenda item during the Big 12 presidents' conference call on Thursday. CBSSports.com reported Wednesday night that Beebe was expected to leave the league and be replaced on an interim basis by Neinas.”
His hiring “would seem to be formality considering Neinas has conducted employment searches for seven of the current nine members of the Big 12.”
Some additional background on Neinas:
“The former Big Eight commissioner runs Neinas Sports Services, a consulting firm, out of his home in Boulder, Colo. Until Texas A&M, Nebraska and Colorado left the league, Neinas had done work for 10 of the original 12 conference members.”
