The conference realignment roulette wheel has begun to spin again as the Big 12 reportedly seeks to add two schools and once again be true to their name.
According to a report by ESPN’s Brett McMurphy, 20 schools will present their argument for inclusion to Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby. The league has reportedly set their sights squarely on raiding the American Athletic Conference including Cincinnati, Houston, USF, UCF, UConn, Memphis, Tulane, Temple, ECU, and SMU. Other potential candidates include independent BYU; Mountain West members Colorado State, Boise State, New Mexico, Air Force, UNLV and San Diego State; SunBelt’s Arkansas State, Conference USA’s Rice and the Mid American’s Northern Illinois.
