July 14, 2023Follow along daily as we count down to a new season.
For today’s countdown, we return to the Big 12. The conference will lose Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC next season.
As for plans to replace and/or expand after the losses of the big-time members, its commissioner wasn’t giving specifics this week.
“We have a plan,” Brett Yormark said. “And we have a plan for expansion. I’m not really going to address it today. Hopefully we can execute that plan sooner, rather than later.”
The Big 12 officially added BYU, Houston, Cincinnati, and Central Florida earlier this month.
*Return each day until the start of the college football season for more information and news to know as we gear up for another campaign.
