YouTube talking heads are saying Arizona was farther along in the process than ASU and Utah, but ASU and Utah are catching up. Supposedly, ASU and Utah were making hard pushes to get into the B1G, but came up short.
Also.........and this is going to ruffle some (Duck) feathers if true...........supposedly, Washington and Oregon will be offered separate deals in the B1G. Washington will be announced first, as it will receive the better deal. Oregon's deal will be less and will be tied to various metrics, such as increases in research spending. Not all of the talking heads agree on this point, some say they will both be offered the same deal.
