Reports: Big 12 eyeing BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF for possible expansion

Is the Big 12 starting the process to make itself whole?

According to reports from The Athletic and ESPN, the Big 12 is eyeing BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF if it expands following the departure of Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC. Adding those four teams would bring the Big 12 to 12 teams for the first time since 2010 before Colorado and Nebraska left.

It's hard to imagine the Big 12's expansion process moving as quickly as the SEC's if it does expand. After all, we're still not sure when OU and UT are going to leave the conference.
