    AP Source: Dungy part of USF pitch to Big 12 as meeting wrap

     

    Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy was part of South Florida's pitch to the Big 12 and former major league first baseman Tino Martinez also went to bat for the Bulls.

    The Big 12 on Friday concluded a week of meetings in North Texas with the 11 schools vying to join the conference. USF, Cincinnati and Rice made the final presentations, according to three people with knowledge of the meetings who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

    The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the conference was keeping its meetings confidential.

    According to a person familiar with USF's pitch, Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeffrey Vinik was part of the team sent to Texas and the presentation included a video with Dungy and Martinez endorsing the Bulls.

    BIG 12 EXPANSION: WAITING BEGINS FOR UCONN

    Here, according to sources familiar with the process, is  where we are in the  Big 12 Will Expand/  Big 12 Won’t Expand   Derby.

    Interviews/presentations:  They will continue through the end of next week.  Of the 11 schools on the interview “list”, UConn, Houston,UCF and USF had made (as of Friday morning) their sales pitches.  Remaining: Air Force, BYU, SMU,  Rice, Colorado State, Tulane, and Cincinnati.

    It is a two-tiered list: Cincinnati , UConn, BYU and UCF are in the first group and have already been vetted by the Big 12. Their presentations were filled with additional details beyond the basics.

    The other 7 schools required more of an introduction and have almost no chance of making the final cut unless  some major unknown additions made in their presentations. Most of those schools are being interviewed for political reasons. The rest of this article is available to subscribers only – to become a subscriber click here.
