I am not so sure that anyone on CougarBoard knows what any conference is interested in at the current time. Things have changed even since Utah was invited and conferences are looking at new things. Show me proof that the BIG 12 is even interested. We are all getting hyped up over the Emperors New Clothes in my opinion. Lots of rumors but nothing factual at all has taken place so far, but we as fans seem to be putting all of our eggs into the BIG 12 basket.
