According to sources leaking through multiple reports, the Big 12 plans to offer the following four schools an invite to join the league and increase its membership back to 12: Cincinnati Bearcats, Houston Cougars, BYU Cougars, and UCF Knights. The four schools are a response to the departure of Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC, which rocked the college football world earlier this summer.
Three of the teams - Cincinnati, Houston and UCF - are currently in the American Conference and are required to give a 27 month notice and pay a $10 million exit fee, though the terms are negotiable according to AAC commissioner Mike Aresco.
