KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In 2021, Terry Mohajir and his wife Julie had family in town at their Orlando home, with plans to attend the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at nearby Daytona, when a telephone call disrupted their plans.
Then-Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said he wanted to visit with Mohajir, the Central Florida athletic director, along with the university’s president and chairman of its board of trustees.
And one more thing: Bowlsby wanted this kept as quiet as possible.
