Poll: When do AZ, ASU, COL & UTAH announce a move to the B12
- Thread starter OPButtrey
- Start date
Officially?
In 2024 matching with UCLA/USC departures.
Announcing that? Sounds like within 10 days

Maybe the poll should be changed to when do the "announce" that they are joining the Big 12?
They will have backroom deals in place but won't announce until OU and UW status with the Big10 is resolved.
Yeah, as has been said, it’ll be a couple of years before they “officially” join the Big 12. Application, acceptance, and announcement are what you’re going for. I voted by the end of the week, but if this thing is real it’ll be done within 2.
I think the "four corners" (great name for group) join Big 12 regardless because it's in their best interest...except for the outside chance SEC takes one Arizona school, even then it's still in best interest for a majority of them.
After that, if Big Ten sorts it out with ND and they somehow don't want UW/Oregon then you have them join but then I think new grant of rights might be more important to give the poaching at least some temporary sign of being over.
Cal/Stanford is a real wildcard to me. I've heard rumors the B10 values Stanford more than Washington, that doesn't make sense to me but who knows? The only sure thing seems to be Oregon is the top remaining brand in the league.
Cal seems to be in only slightly better position than Oregon State and Washington State in that I think the Big 12 would gladly add them and WSU/Ore St are in mode where they are charity case or need a full merger of the two conferences. I say that as polite as possible because ISU/KSU/Tech/OKst/Baylor have all had their turn in that position.
Just read a CBS Sports article that says negotiating for 6 or a merger.
That'd be awesome
And call Amazon immediately please. Going to have to do something extraordinary to keep up with even half of what the B1G/SEC are going to get.
If it’s 6 I’d prefer to swap out Colorado for Stanford.
It'd be somewhat amusing for the Buffs to get left out.
Why are Stanford and Cal so low on lists? Pretty prestigious schools, not counting football. Not a great cultural fit I suppose. Or a worse fit than the other odd fits!
