This second round selection will be different from the first round considerations. Four good to strong football programs were taken to replace 2 strong football programs; 2 strong academic programs will be taken to replace one strong academic program (UT). I do not believe Boise or Memphis will make the cut.

However, it was reported regarding the Big12 selection process that, of the schools not selected, only Boise and Memphis had unanimous support for being considered for inclusion. They were the two that went to the last stage of the decision making process, when the six schools with unanimous support for inclusion were considered to pick the four to invite.
