Report: Big 12 Talking Expansion; UConn, Gonzaga 'Certainly Talked About' in Meetings

In the ever-changing college athletics landscape, the Big 12 is potentially looking to shake things up again in terms of expanding its membership, according to ESPN's Heather Dinich.

The conference had its spring meetings in West Virginia this week and a source told Dinich that while there were no votes on new memberships, there were plenty of talks regarding different scenarios to grow the league.

One of those scenarios is potentially adding blue blood basketball programs like Gonzaga and UConn to the mix as basketball-only schools, according to Dinich. And commissioner Brett Yormark confirmed as much when asked about the possibility of adding a team like the Bulldogs.
