Big 12 Formally Invites BYU, UCF, Houston and Cincinnati, BYU Promptly Accepts

BYU, Houston, UCF and Cincinnati have officially received invitations to the Big 12 conference.

The conference announced Friday that its board of directors met and the eight remaining members voted unanimously to extend invites to the four schools. BYU has already announced its acceptance into the conference, stating the Big 12’s additions will join in starting in the 2023-24 academic year. That would put the Big 12 at 14 teams for two years until Oklahoma and Texas make their jumps from the Big 12 to the SEC, unless those two schools find a way to get out early.
