Colorado discussing move from Pac-12 to Big 12, sources say
-
My first BU hoops game was on 12/30/1963. My dad took me to watch the Braves defeat Arizona 67-59. He helped me get Coach Orsborn's autograph before the game. -

It is mentioned in the first link that Arizona and Arizona State have left the Pac-12. I haven't seen anything, so I may have missed this news.My first BU hoops game was on 12/30/1963.

The latest - but it could still change...
UCLA & USC --> already to the Big10
Colorado --> back to the Big 12
Washington & Oregon --> to the Big Ten
(pending) Arizona & Arizona State --> to the Big 12 (nothing final, Pac-12 people desperately throwing incentives to make them stay)
(pending) Utah --> also rumored to be in negotiations to jump to the Big 12
If all happen the Pac-12 will be left with just 4 schools (Cal, Stanford, Oregon State, Washington State)
This is stupendous karma for Bill Walton and all the Pac-12 fans, who just a couple years ago were GLOATING
when they robbed the Big 12 and stole Colorado then robbed the Mountain West & stole Utah.
And I don't think this is over yet as San Diego State, Boise State, Colorado State and other strong FB programs might also look east where the $$ is. Or... rumors that the MWC and what's left of the Pac-12 could merge - https://www.mwcconnection.com/2023/8...an-diego-stateComment

Sources: Both Utah and Arizona State have applied for formal membership to the Big 12 Conference, and there’s a call tonight with the Big 12's presidents and chancellors to discuss their membership. Arizona applied and was approved yesterday.Comment

A little humor from the head coach at Wisconsin-Oshkosh-

Obviously, I don't know any or all the details, so I might be out of line in expressing my opinion, but whoever allowed the Pac-12 to implode because of the inability to secure a TV deal should be run out of town. Just imagine what ramifications this will have for college sports.
Charles Barkley was interviewed on 60 Minutes and said that in 3-5 years, there will be 25 schools calling the shots in college basketball because not all schools will be able to pay their players. It might be more than 25 schools, maybe 50-75 if you figure in the SEC and the ACC, but Barkley is absolutely correct. The playing field is not level and this will result in disastrous consequences for those schools and conferences on the outside looking in.

Most likely at some point football (and possibly basketball) will end up doing their own thing with all non-revenue sports returning to traditional regional conferences.Comment

The Big 12 no longer in talks with Gonzaga-
And the Big 12 also announced they had talks with UConn, but have decided against adding the Huskies-

I can’t imagine how much the travel expenses and extra time will be needed for all of these teams. And because of extending the football schedule, why bother having these athletes attend any classes with students. I’m not sure how this will affect non revenue sports in travel.Comment
