That report was just more throw it against the wall and see if it sticks.

"@basskater_91289 could not confirm if Memphis made cut or not. Heard conflicting information"

So that tells me that at lest one source said Memphis is a finalist, while another couldn't confirm it. McMurphys sources clearly aren't pro-Memphis if you've been following B12 expansion closely.

That report is probably pretty accurate. As far as Memphis it is hard to imagine they did not make the cut but it is also hard to imagine they will get in unless they invite four schools. Don't think anyone thinks that is going to happen now.

I hope they take Rice and Tulane

Rice and SMU make no sense other than PR or SWC history. So for skepticism reasons, makes you wonder who gave McMurphy/Trotter this info and why is it so different than the list released earlier in the day?

Why can't the ESPN guys get a certain answer on Memphis and if they can't, can there report be trusted?

Yeah, sure. You just keep on drinking that koolaid....

What a cluster.....

TIGERBUDDY · 09-01-2016 07:20 AM

Maybe the reason they could not confirm Memphis as in a final twelve is because Memphis is already in but can't be announced now.

"The finalists: Including the U of M, there could be as many as 10, based on various reports. TMGcollegesports.com on Tuesday initially reported “six to eight” schools on the Big 12’s preferred list for expansion, but the story was amended to reflect nine. In addition to Memphis, Cincinnati — long considered to be a favorite — was listed in the story along with Houston, UConn, South Florida and Central Florida. All are in the American Athletic Conference. Football independent BYU was also listed along with two unnamed AAC schools."

This has to be some of the worst reporting I've ever seen. No one knows a thing

If no one will tell them anything, this is what you get.

non-disclosure agreements

Latilleon · 09-01-2016 08:50 AM

NDA or not, why wouldn't Rice leak they are still in contention?

If Howard Stern got a nomination for People's Sexiest Man alive, would he keep it hush hush?

Title should be "NOT confirmed as a finalist" per espn.

Unconfirmed means there is no official word but an understanding it is the case.

NDA? Except that 10 schools have "disclosed" they are in the cut and several (like ECU and UNLV) have disclosed they aren't in.

I'm unconfirmed to be in Heidi Klum's pants right now

NDA came from Tulane. Why should the cut school care even if they did an NDA once they aren't in contention?
