The Big 12 and UConn are in discussions for the Huskies potentially joining the league, sources told ESPN, though a high-ranking Big 12 official cautioned there is 'a far distance between conversations and anything that would happen.'
No vote has taken place for a potential Huskies membership, nor is one close to happening, as sources cautioned that there has been pushback among several members that would need to be overcome.
"I think the word is 'premature,'" a high-ranking Big 12 official said."There's a far distance between conversations and anything that would happen. The presidents haven't seen the case yet." Some of the pushback is due to the timing of the discussions, as league officials are busy dealing with the House vs. NCAA settlement. There are also questions about how much the move would benefit the conference in football.
