The Big-12 identified 5 expansion candidates:
The SEC approved the commissioner to talk with 2 candidates: Missouri and WVU
>> The Big 12, in the wake of Tuesday’s decision by the PAC-12 not to invite Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, isn’t just looking to strengthen and heal itself from within.
Now a nine-team league after recent defections by Nebraska, Colorado and Texas A&M, Big 12 presidents, according to ESPN’s Andy Katz, will consider strengthening their numbers through the expansion process.
According to ESPN.com, the three likely candidates for Big 12 expansion are BYU, currently independent, and Big East members Louisville and West Virginia. Those three schools, along with Arkansas and Pittsburghwere Big 12 candidates to replace Texas A&M. Arkansas chose to remain in the SEC, while Pittsburgh left the Big East for the ACC last week.
"The Big 12 is moving toward stabilization," one Big 12 athletic director told ESPN Wednesday afternoon. <<
