It makes more sense for the Big 12 to grab Colorado, Arizona, Arizona St, and maybe SDSU/UNLV. UConn will always be there for the taking, and better eastern options may open up later anyway when the ACC sees some movement. If the Big 12 really wants to make trouble, they should aggressively go after Washington and Oregon and force some dominoes to fall.
My point was if not all of the four corners schools that are currently in the P-12 would jump to the B-12. If none, two or four are willing, there won't be a spot for us.
I don't see why they don't grab Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington and stake their claim to the west. That's 25 million potential people watching your conference.
Because Oregon and Washington don't want the Big 12. They are hoping for the B1G.
The B10 always gets first pick, I don’t think they can risk moving until they get a definitive no from them.
Isn't everyone who's not in the SEC?
That's a rather flip reply. Washington and Oregon have a legitimate chance.
Utah football has been very good recently and it’s right in the heart of a big, fast-growing city and state. Plus an instate rivalry is always a good thing. They would own the Utah college sports scene which I’d probably imagine is worth a lot of money.
I just think if the PAC12 splits, the BIG12 will most likely want to take UU, CU, ASU, and UA in one swoop and maybe come back for a second round later. Which is obviously incredibly bad for us but I jdon’t see why they’d leave Utah on the table when scooping up all its neighbors.
Like you said Utah has to compete with BYU and Utah State. They also have one and possibly two big 4 pro sports (Jazz and possibly the Coyotes).
If they go to 16, we will be in with SDSU and the 4 corner states. If 14, we be on the outside looking in.
They'll have 12 after 7/1/24, so four corners and us and SDSU would be 18. Idk if that's going to happen. I echo some other members in thinking there may be a Col-Conn add scenario if the other Pac members hold fast. Not sure why they would, but it's out there
The ACC is 2 to 4 departures away from G6. Once FSU, Clemson, Miami and NC leave they are in deep deep doo-doo
I don't think that'll happen. You'll have Pitt, Duke, NC State, GA Tech, Wake, BCU and Blood Orange. The powers that be at ESPN all hail from the bad Orange place. They'll never let that conference be G6.

I was gonna say... I think that guy is confused. There are going to be 12 teams in the Big12 after Texas and OK leave. 12+4 (AZ, ASU, UT, CO) and they're at 16. There's literally no path for UConn if they take those 4 schools.
People said the Big 12 would tank if it lost OU and Texas.
Even if the four border schools are taken from the Pac12, UConn may still get into the B12. Right now, there are so many rumors and noise getting reported. But at least UConn's name is getting mentioned.
