The addition of Gonzaga to the conference would align with Yormark’s comments over the summer that the Big 12 was "open for business" regarding expansion.
"As I said in my opening comments, we’re exploring all options," Yormark said at Big 12 Media Days. "And we’re open for business. And optionality is good, and we’re vetting all of them. I think it's fair to say I've received a lot of phone calls, a lot of interest. We're exploring those levels of interest. Nothing is imminent."
