Doesn't look like that Big 12 info will be released publicly today, or tomorrow for that matter. Info I got was wrong, I was wrong.

Jed DeMuesy@Local12Jed 41 mins ago
Has Big 12 had conversations with schools independently letting them know they're still in the running? I'm not speculating on that.

It's paywalled, but you can probably guess the gist is that we're more or less back to where we were before the list of 20-ish schools was contacted.

Big 12 reportedly trims list of expansion candidates

Brett McMurphy ‏@McMurphyESPN · 4m4 minutes ago
East Carolina says it was informed by Big 12 it is no longer an expansion candidate

Mark B. gets his information from sources. He may not always be right, and he is often wrong, but I would say in 99% of the cases, he prints what people in some key position have told him. When he's guessing or speculating, he lets the reader know he is guessing or speculating.

When he says he got it from sources, I have no reason to believe that a source in a key position did not give it to him.

He does qualify with "at least" but a curious omission from this list - no Memphis.

ESPN McMurphy: Big 12 cuts expansion list to at least 12

>>While at least a dozen schools made the cut, several others did not, including Arkansas State, Boise State, East Carolina, New Mexico, Northern Illinois, San Diego State and UNLV, sources said. ESPN could not confirm if Memphis, which was also under consideration by the league, made the cut.

As part of the next step in the process, representatives from each school will make in-person presentations to Big 12 officials in Dallas next week, sources say.<<
