Longtime college sports radio host Greg Swaim reports that basketball-only schools won't be joining the Big 12 anytime soon; eliminating the chance UConn ever brings Dan Hurley's dynastic college hoops program to Brett Yormark's basketball-centric conference. While the Huskies football program wasn't deemed big-time enough for the Big 12, Oregon State, Wazzu, and six ACC schools were.
Swaim believes the ACC will lose Power conference status with the losses. The Big 12, though, would become the country's biggest conference with 24 members.
