It's official. The Big 12 is sending invitations to the University of Houston, the University of Central Florida, Brigham Young University, and the University of Cincinnati to join the conference.

The Big 12 Conference Board of Directors announced Friday morning they voted unanimously to extend membership invitations to the four schools.

This comes after the Sooners and the Longhorns announced they would not be extending their media rights contract with the conference and will be filing a request to join the SEC.
