Even by Big 12 relaignment standards, Wednesday night was a big night for chatter. Not just from egg-avatared Twitter accounts claiming inside #sources, but from multiple mainstream media outlets as well, as the Big 12 reportedly culled its massive list of 20ish interested expansion candidates to...well...a smaller number.
Earlier on Wednesday, a report circulated that had the Big 12 narrowing things down to “6-8” teams, including BYU. But as the day went along, more and more teams were reportedly still in the Big 12 expansion hunt, with only three, East Carolina, New Mexico and UNLV, publicly announcing they were out.
