Saw where the conference is going to be formally reaching out to BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF, perhaps as early as this football season wanting to expand the league to twelve teams.
That info was obviously leaked, which means that those four schools are more likely than not going to accept the invite. It probably also means, just reading between the lines, that OU and Texas have reached an as of yet to be announced buyout agreement with the Big12 on their bolting to the SEC probably after this season or latest after next.
