Great situation for OSU gym if it happens.
Interested to see if wrestling ends up in the Big 12 as well.

I do think this would be a good move for the GymBeavs. As stated in the article, there are currently 7 schools in the conference that have teams. Denver is an "affiliate" team. This would be the same for us. The regular season conference schedule/records don't really mean a lot in gymnastics, but it would be nice to be able to participate in the conference weekly awards, and compete for a conference championship. I think the biggest benefit would be the ability to compete in the post-season conference championship meet. I imagine the BIG 12 wants to get to 8 teams to be able to have two conference championship sessions of 4 teams in each session like the PAC 12 had. This is how the NCAA's are also set up, with 4 teams in each session. Another tidbit is that the BIG 12 gymnastics championships will be held in Salt Lake at the Maverick Center. I believe they basically took over the contract that the PAC 12 no longer needs. It is a huge advantage for Utah as it is basically a home meet and 90% of the arena is filled with Utah fans, but it does draw which is always more fun for the gymnasts.
