UC and Big 12 officials on Monday declined comment about what the next step is in the process. It's believed schools wanting to join the Big 12 were required to submit a letter of interest. Davenport's four-sentence letter was submitted to Bowlsby through the Big 12's Kansas City-based law firm. It asks attorney Kevin Sweeney to direct inquiries to Karen Kovach, UC's lead attorney. The letter is a formality giving both parties the go-ahead to officially begin discussions. It is not an indication UC will receive an invitation to join one of the five major college football conferences.<< [/QUOTE]
