Big 12 won't expand or launch TV network, report says

The Big 12 will neither expand nor launch a television network in the near term, HornsDigest.com reported Tuesday, citing multiple unidentified sources across the conference as well as in the TV industry.

The 10-member conference, the presidents of which meet this week in Dallas, can't arrive at a consensus about which two non-Power Five candidates to add while the Big 12's TV partners — ESPN and Fox — aren't exactly eager to launch a Big 12 Network during an unsettled period for the TV sports giants, according to the report.
