When stuff like this breaks it generally means, the deal is about done.

Probably the right move for them. Seems inevitable now the Big 12 and ACC (after a few teams leave for the B1G or SEC) can be the group of 2. Pac 12 goes away into the B1G or Big 12.

Yeah, deal was probably being hashed out during the last (denied) rumor a couple months ago, this is probably mostly a formality now.

I wonder if all of the 4 corner schools will go to the Big 12...Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State.

That would give them 16 teams right?

KU
K State
ISU
OK St
TCU
Baylor
Tx Tech
WVU
Cincy
UCF
BYU
Houston
Then add Arizona State, Arizona, Colorado, Utah

Makes sense, but you'd think UCF...not that they have any pull in the Big 12...would be hoping for someone added from the SE like USF or FAU

It's also where they fit in academically. Sorry, not sorry.

Just don't care for their bravado when it comes to academics. WGAF.

UConn is heavily rumored to the big 12 as well if you follow basketball

Think both could happen. Not unreasonable for the Big 12 to be 20 teams. A team like Ok St could also still jump to the SEC. Maybe balance an uneven number from the ACC. Maybe there's another SEC team on that list (not sure who it would be).

Fwiw- I am expecting UConn to join them in the Big 12 with an announcement in the next two weeks

Problem is the ACC needs 8 schools to want to opt out to get out of the Grant of Rights. There aren't 8 schools in that conference that can find homes better than the current ACC structure.

Florida State
Clemson
Miami
North Carolina
Louisville maybe?
Va Tech maybe?
Pitt maybe?
NC St maybe?

They'll figure out a way.

Big12 should try to steal Rutgers from us next.

If true, my money is it’s Wazzu or OSU.
