Supposedly from an interview with Texas beat writer Brian Davis, who covers the Longhorns for the Austin American-Statesman.
“There’s no one here talking about Big 12 expansion,” Davis said matter of factly. “There’s no one in this region talking about Big 12 expansion. If there are people out there talking that something is going to happen or that anything is imminent, I would say they are very misinformed.”
“I definitely think that realignment is going to happen again, but I really think it’s four to five years down the road,” he added. “I don’t think anything is imminent from anyone, in any league.
Should that expansion occur on a quicker timeline or should Texas administrators change their tune, Davis did talk about some of the rumored candidates for expansion. “They are never going to add BYU no matter what anyone out there says because the conference wants to go east. I think that the University of Texas would not want Houston in simply because of recruiting. Central Florida is there just because they are in Florida.”
