Heard this was BS and a ploy. Either that or our conference leader wants a basketball only conference.

It would make more sense to grab UConn if that’s the angle the B12 wants

Makes zero sense to grab Duke. The Duke football doesn't scream give me a huge contract for my conference.

Neither does UConn football but they can improve that in a "P4" conference.

Apparently since the Big 12 was way overrated this year, Yormark feels the need to bring in some better teams.

8 teams get in this year. 5 in the round of 32. 2 in the Sweet 16. None in the Elite 8. Sounds like Big 12 basketball to me.

Truth is they want them for basketball more than football.

Would be smarter to wait for ACC to implode and grab some football schools with a solid and storied history.

This. No basketball only schools. FB drives the dollars and if the Big East taught us anything, schools with BB as their big money motivator can derail that

Duke and Miami would not be at the top of my list.

Top of my list for the B12 would be

Virginia Tech
Pitt
Louisville
Syracuse

UConn football is an embarrassment though, at least Duke football is (sadly) on par with the bottom 30-40% of the Big12 as it stands now. UConn is like a skid stain on Houston's underwear.

Can we put them in Pods, because that conversation has been off the table for too long.

Let’s try and remember, UConn was becoming a top 25 football program in the Big East.

Yes and we still kicked their ass every year....that's not saying much sadly.

Syracuse can take a hike.

Pitt (only because of rivalry, if not for that they could jump off with SU)
Va. Tech
Louisville
NC State

UCONN never finished a season ranked in top 25 while in the Big East. They finished regular season ranked 3 times but fell out of Top 25 after losing the bowl game. Their best season ever in Big East was 9-4 (5-2). They were far from becoming a top 25 program.
