Ross Dellenger:
UCF, UH, BYU & Cincy expected to apply for Big 12 membership next week & league presidents have the votes to admit them next Friday, sources tell me & @ByPatForde. Plan is to join in 2023, conceivably before OU & Texas leave, to create a 14-team league. https://www.si.com/college/2021/09/0...ucf-cincinnati

The most important thing from the SI article is that they expect the Big12 will keep it's P5 status. That is huge and means we may finally have a secure spot at the big boy table for the foreseeable future. We all wish it was the ACC instead but this will be a good football conference and a killer bball conference

I wish I could be more enthused about this. I just have a nagging feeling that it won’t turn out well in the long run. I just hope this doesn’t turn into a BE rerun. We, along with Louisville and USF, saved the Big East from the brink of collapse, less than a decade later it collapsed anyway. I just don’t want to get stuck like that again.

I think this is the best option at this time I am pretty excited. We have the top 3 teams from the AAC and adding BYU, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, TCU and WV to enhance football. This will be decent football and great basketball conference and should only enhance recruiting. Not to mention the money. The Big 12 should remain a Power 5 and i also think we will be better positioned when the next round of realignment comes. I also feel for the the AAC as they will need to start raiding other conferences but will not be able to get the quality of teams that they are losing.
