Texas and Oklahoma sent shockwaves across the college sports landscape when they announced they were leaving the Big 12 for the SEC. The aftershocks are now being felt in other conferences as the Big 12 looks for members to replace its two biggest programs.
This past week, the Big 12 unanimously voted to add BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF. And reports have surfaced that Memphis and current Mountain West member Boise State could also be heading to the Big 12 as full members too.
If those reports are true, and the Broncos do end up leaving for the Big 12, it will obviously be a big loss for the Mountain West, losing its best football program and a solid basketball program that was on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament last year.
