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.
