A report that surfaced on Tuesday from Dennis Dodd at CBS Sports indicated that the Big 12 is in “deep discussions” to potentially add four Pac-12 teams to its ranks and as many as six, positioning itself for a world in which it could be an 18-team mega-league after Texas and OU formally defect to the SEC.
It seems far from a done deal even while acknowledging it is a real possibility — the report came the same day the Pac-12 self-reported it was (very prematurely) entering a negotiating phase for its next media rights deal — but this is a blog, right?
