Some reports yesterday from here and ESPN Dallas that Jerry Jones interested in having AR go to the Big 12.

Now Chip Brown is saying that Arkansas has put out feelers to the Big 12 (on twitter).

Frank Broyles was recently quoted in mainstream news that Arkansas has lost a lot by joining a conference without a rival (there big rival used to be Texas).

If the Big 12 might expand, then it is conceivable that BYU is in play, as the weaker sister of the two coming in.

AR has put out recent denials of wanting to change conferences. Of course we know that means that there has been enough heat on the topic, that they felt compelled to officially comment. Which says something.
