BYU's status = "shaky"
I suspect that it is a done deal and Bob just let Mike know who the B12 is taking. The rest is all dog and pony show.Kirk Bohls @kbohls 23m23 minutes ago
Also ran into AAC commish Mike Aresco, who said he had dinner with B12 commish Bob Bowlsby last night. Those two may be joined at the hip.

Not earth shattering, but Self agrees geography/distance not an issue.

Big 12 expansion interviews begin in Dallas. Four serious candidates-UConn,Cin, BYU, Houston. TMGcollegesports.com@MrCFB
"According to sources familiar with the process, UConn officials will meet with Big 12 officials in Dallas this week, on either Thursday or Friday"
"The presentations should be concluded by the end of the week or early next week. Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby and his staff are then expected to decide on a final list of schools to give to the Big 12 Presidents for consideration when they meet next month. Houston, Cincinnati and UConn are expected to be the final contenders for two spots.
The Presidents will either choose two schools or vote not to expand, which would go against the recommendation of Bowlsby who feels the Big 12’s best chance to stay relevant among the Power 5 conference schools is to expand to 12 schools and create a conference championship game with two divisions of six schools."
Best decision for them to add Cincy and UCONN to get to 12. This Houston and Texas politics really complicate things. I am not sure if B12 North schools can get 2 out of TCU, Baylor, or Texas Tech to vote with them for UCONN and Cincy. If they go by pure academics and markets, UCONN is the easy choice if Houston is the other. I hope they go to 14 like other P5s (UCONN, Cincy, BYU, Houston) to satisfy all parties except for the networks.
