Memphis Reportedly Looks to Join Big 12 as Part of Potential Expansion

The Memphis Tigers football program has been on the rise the past couple of seasons, and it reportedly wants to continue that ascension all the way to the Big 12.

According to Phil Stukenborg of the Commercial Appeal, “Memphis is among several schools seeking a move to the more lucrative Power Five conference, and the Big 12 may be considering two additional programs to get to 12.”

Memphis is currently in the American Athletic Conference.

This comes after the Big 12 hired Navigate Research to study the conference’s position in the national landscape.
