Rumor: UConn unlikely to ever join Big 12 but Pac-12 schools, six ACC schools can join​

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.

IMO - if the Big XII is going to expand, then they should raid the PAC-2 and take those schools.

And put even more power on that side of the country? Do you really think WVU, UCF, and UC should be in that conference? No thanks.

Would Big 12 really go above 20?

Hopefully it's 4 ACC teams.

IMO - unless the ACC collapses, if the Big Xii expands, then they'll be reaching down to a Costal Carolina and hoping to grow and mature that program.
