No. Philly reporters also mentioned Temple still in talks with B12

Note that Temple is about the same distance to Morgantown as UC is, and is also near some decent recruiting grounds.

LOL

RT @ChuckCarltonDMN: What I’m hearing (and explained nicely by @SBNationCFB) is up to 12 school remain in Big 12 hunt between full and football-only membership.

Except Cincy is on the Big 12 side of Morgantown, not that same distance farther on the other side.

Flugaur swings and misses, lol.

That guy must have a real problem with Memphis, I don't think I've ever seen anything out of him that even included Memphis as a consideration.

No different than C Austin Cox's intense hatred of Houston. Somebody from Houston must've called him a "meany-head" when he was 10 to garner that type of hatred.

Well when winning a National Championship is the ceiling, you can bet UCONN goes no higher.

Also, I didn't fail to notice your white hot hatred towards UCONN. Good, let that hatred flow through you!!

But not enough closer to make a material difference ... either way, the result would be expanding the island that WVU is on into a two-school island, and gaining from the complementarities that result.

Big 12 cuts expansion list to at least 12: AF, BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, CSU, UConn, UH, Rice, USF, SMU, Temple & Tulane sources told @ESPN

Looks like Memphis out.

Where's Memphis? I've been told by several posters on the AAC board that Memphis is a shoe-in.

Probably an oversight. McMurphy said at least 12. We know of 3 definites that are out.

As much as you'd like to have Memphis off the list, Memphis is on the CBS Sports list & the Sports Illustrated list, really every list except McMurphy's.

Shoo-in

CBS Sports reported that Memphis made it to the next step.
