Houston Accepts Invitation to Join Big 12
After losing Texas to the SEC, the Big 12 adding Houston to the league should help reaffirm the conference’s footprint in the Lone Star State.
The Big 12 formally invited Houston, BYU, UCF and Cincinnati to join the league Friday morning. BYU was the first to put out an official statement of acceptance, but Houston wasn’t too far behind. There were some disagreements between Houston and the Big 12 about potential membership not too long ago, but that seems to have been squared away.
Houston, like BYU, announced it will join the league starting in the 2023-24 school year.
