The Big 12 won’t be adding UConn and Gonzaga in this round of realignment.
There had been rumors circulating for months the Huskies and Bulldogs were high on the conference’s list of teams it wanted to add, but ultimately, neither will get an invite.
The Big 12 successfully raided the PAC-12 for Arizona, Arizona State, Utah and Colorado. That means there’s no more room left.
That’s not speculation. Commissioner Brett Yormark told Andrew Marchand, “Those conversations are no longer. Unfortunately things didn’t work out only because the dream scenario unfolded for us.

Bob Huggins is attempting to get his life straightened out following a DUI arrest.
Huggins and West Virginia separated after the famous college basketball coach was arrested in June on a DUI charge in Pittsburgh. The former Mountaineers coach initially resigned before later attempting to claim he never did. The situation turned into a bizarre battle.
While issues with the school are unfolding, Huggins appears to be putting the legal side of the situation behind him.
Johnny Manziel apparently isn’t a huge fan of zoos…..unless there’s beer involved.
Manziel has been the center of attention ever since Netflix dropped its documentary “UNTOLD: Johnny Football,” and I can’t recommend watching it enough. It’s a must-watch for football fans.
Remember When Johnny Manziel’s Sister Was Dominating Instagram? The Photos Are Still Up
TexAgs owner Billy Liucci plays a major role in the documentary as a well-connected Aggies insider and friend of Manziel.
James Harden has been making headlines in China this week, having called 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey a “liar” during an Adidas sponsored event on Monday. It seems he’s enjoying his time there, though, and his fans across the Pacific Ocean could someday see a lot more of him.
According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the 33-year-old has expressed an interest in potentially playing in China at some point in the future.

“The Blind Side” author Michael Lewis spoke out regarding former NFL O-lineman Michael Oher’s conservatorship battle with his “adoptive” family, the Tuohys.
While graceful to Oher, Lewis’ comments did not agree with the former player’s claims.
Oher alleges that the family took him under their care to obtain his rights away and benefit from his image with a conservatorship.
Michael Lewis Left Baffled By Oher’s Claims Against Tuohys
“Everybody should be mad at the Hollywood studio system,” Lewis said in an exclusive interview with The Washington Post.
It has not been the Yankees’ season.
Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. caught the Orioles sleeping Wednesday when he stole home plate with relative ease during the seventh inning.
In a 4–2 game with Juan Soto at the plate, Tatis took a lead off third base before realizing that Baltimore’s lefthanded pitcher Cionel Perez wasn’t paying him any mind with his back to him.
With Perez seemingly locked in on Soto, Tatis cautiously broke for home plate, jogging part way down the line before breaking into a full sprint.
The Yankees continue to struggle to put runs on the board, having now dropped five games in a row, including two consecutive shutouts. Following Wednesday night’s 2–0 loss against the Braves, New York dipped below .500 for the first time all season.
At 60–61, the Yankees sit in last place in the American League East, and have their worst record this late into a season in 28 years.
The last time the team was below .500 this late into the campaign was back on Sept. 1, 1995.
