N.C.A.A. chief suggests a summit on conference expansion

Before a meeting or conference call can be held, Emmert told conference officials that he needed clearance from the N.C.A.A.'s lawyers. Tension is high among some commissioners, as Texas A&M of the Big 12 appears headed to the Southeastern Conference in the near future. The Big 12's Dan Beebe and the SEC's Mike Slive had a heated phone conversation last week about a potential move, according to a high-ranking college official with direct knowledge of the call.
