If at @GoKU is correct Arizona and ASU may have serious interest. That would be seismic to the PAC. Getting UConn and Arizona would accomplish Yormack’s goal of increasing the conference’s superiority in basketball. Additionally Imagine the Hurley brothers playing against one another and the hype it would generate.There are backfills, but the PAC had elitist visions of who they could add. SDSU was always available. They basically replace Colorado. If the assumption was Colorado gone, backfill with sdsu and move on
If they assumed Colorado stayed, then it was SDsU and SMU to get back to 12. Now maybe throw in Tulane and they could still get back to 12.
Still don’t think Colorado is this huge impetus for defections. None of the other schools want the Big 12.
Colorado was a means to an end. It mollifies any resistance to UConn with any current Big 12 schools and precipitates the Zona moves. If the scenario plays out Yormack, at least for the moment, significantly puts the Big12 in the number three position when just a short while ago they were on life support.
