Big 12 expansion has been a hot topic for a few years now but the discussions have ramped up in the last couple months.
Since West Virginia joined the Big 12 Conference on July 1st, 2012, the topic of further conference expansion has been a hot one that has hardly fizzled. All that was unknown is which schools may join the Big 12.
Originally, back in 2011-2012, it was thought that the University of Louisville was competing with West Virginia University for a spot in the Big 12. Others thought the above mentioned could possibly join along with the University of Cincinnati.
