If the Big 12 takes football-only members, should the Big East open their doors to Connecticut?
On Monday, news came out that the Atlantic Coast Conference would be getting both an on-air and a digital only ACC Network as part of their partnership with ESPN.
On Tuesday, the Big 12 announced that they unanimously approved of commissioner Bob Bowlsby proceeding with gauging the interest of other schools in joining their conference.
These two things are probably related.
A follow up report to the Big 12 announcement stated that the conference had their eye on adding two teams to get to 12 members, and possibly as large as 14 members total.
