Big 12 to add BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF after they formally accept invitations to join conference

BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF accepted invitations Friday to join the Big 12 after the conference voted to expand its league membership for the first time since 2012. As expected, the Big 12 rubber stamped the membership invitations, extending them to the four schools who quickly accepted the offers.

Extending an invitation required a supermajority of the remaining eight Big 12 athletic directors. However, the Big 12 notes that the vote to add these new members was unanimous.

BYU and Houston accepted their invitations within hours of receiving them, and by the end of the day all four universities announced they will join the Big 12.

BYU became the first school to accept its invitation, announcing just 12 minutes after the Big 12 publicly announced the invitations.
