Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 5064955, member: 1737"] I don't think this is correct. Do you have a source for this? According to McMurphy: "Last week, UConn officials met in Dallas with Big 12 athletic directors. UConn “showcased how it would build in the future leading up to 2031 and invest more in football,” a source said. Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark, who has been enamored by UConn’s basketball program and its Northeast media market, is expected to make a presentation to the Big 12’s presidents, who must approve any expansion additions."

Though nothing is imminent, the in-person presentation is a sign of the serious nature of the discussions. Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark is set to make a similar presentation to the league's presidents next week. Expansion requires a three-fourths vote, or 12 of the 16 members.

The conversations centered around football funding and how UConn could be competitive upon joining the league in 2031, sources said. A Big 12 board call is being planned for next week with the league's presidents that would lay out the specific deal points, according to sources.
