Reports: Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF Expected to Join the Big 12 in 2023-24

Most people expected the three AAC teams, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF, to leave the AAC as quickly as possible once it was announced they were leaving for the Big 12. It’s just a little awkward to hang around for too long, kind of like when you get divorced, it’s best to move out instead of continuing to share an apartment. So, it’s now official. Jon Rothstein is now reporting that Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF will join the Big 12 for the start of the 2023-24 academic year. BYU will also be joining at this point.
