The Big 12 athletic directors have agreed to ban professionals from returning to Big 12 schools in all sports, per ESPN sources. This is pending FAR approval tonight. The ADs were unanimous in their support. This follows in line with similar concepts as the Big Ten and SEC, and the ACC is waiting to be formalized.
