Will be discussed at B12 meetings soon.

I see USF/UCF as a package deal along with Cincy and uconn/byu. Neither us or uff offers anything individually but together it adds way more value than any individual. 1

That leaves three possible scenarios for the expansion issue. 1. The Big 12 could choose to move east to add Cincinnati and Connecticut. Cincinnati has developed the most consistent football program of potential expansion candidates and is located in a major media market. UConn is four-time NCAA champion in men’s basketball and also adds the cachet of the dynastic women’s basketball program. 2. For football recruiting purposes and long-term potential, the Big 12 could advance into Florida by adding Central Florida and South Florida.

Yeah but how many have been about sources close to the Big 12 reporting on who they are considering. 1
