The Big 12 has started to eliminate expansion candidates, and BYU reportedly has advanced to the next stage.
After a few weeks of relative silence on the Big 12 expansion front, along with multiple reports that candidate programs have signed non-disclosure agreements, one could be forgiven for thinking that maybe the rest of this process would take place without leaks or public pronouncements.
But that would apparently be wrong.
A report from TMGcollegesports.com, a site manned by three former newspaper veterans, including former Boston Globe columnist Mark Blaudschun, says that the Big 12 has sent invitations to multiple programs, including BYU, to continue in the expansion process.
