Arizona has been at the forefront for a potential move to the Big 12, as it had the most extensive talks with the league prior to the Colorado departure. A move by Arizona to the Big 12 would significantly weaken the Pac-12, putting an unstable league on the brink. And no one realizes this more than Robbins.
"He knows the gravity," said a person familiar with Robbins' thinking. "He does not want to be the one to break apart the Pac-12."
That's why sources say Arizona, Arizona State and Utah -- the Pac-12's remaining three of the so-called Four Corner schools -- are expected to lump their futures together.
As another industry source pointed out: "I don't see any of them having the fortitude to break up the Pac-12 themselves. They'll break as three. It's either going to be all three leave, or none leave."

Re: Conference Realignment
Heard the ABOR has an emergency meeting this afternoon for both UA and ASU. It is private.
Also, if you want to see what is happening 247 sports is having a free VIP day so you can see what is going on behind the paywall. It is also 75% off for a year subscription for a few days, although Paramount+ premium won't be included. I am not shilling for them, just passing on the information.

Re: Conference Realignment
I read it from the Kansas State site staff. It doesn't say how. I would just see if you can see threads. There is a realignment thread over 1100 pages long.btfd16 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 01, 2023 10:00 amDo you know how to sign up for the free day?

They just updated the front page mentioning the fee VIP day. I am not shilling for WildcatAuthority. I am not sure I will reup my sub. But it is free today, and it appears today is going to be a very big day. The ABOR is meeting at 3 pm. It is private. I don't think it is a matter of Arizona leaving or not. It is more about if we bring the scummies with us. The real vote will be public. The ideal situation will be bringing the 4 corner schools. But from all indications Utah does not want to go to the Big 12. They are delusional and won't get a Big Ten invite like they think they will. Plus, they like dominating the PacX.

Re: Conference Realignment
If the new TV deal numbers are similar to what we’ve seen floated on Twitter, Arizona’s response in the meeting after they are presented should just be a long drawn out fart noise.

Re: Conference Realignment
Robbins is an idiot - the pac was already dead when uscla bolted. And the die was cast when we didn’t let UT and OK in.
Some fun from Reddit;
Arizona: tell the pac12 it was me.
Personally I love the rep that “Arizona killed the pac-12”; the lame conference needed to be killed.
Also from Reddit: does Wilbur get his guns back if he is in the conference with pistol Pete (osu) and the red raider (TT)?

We can’t stay in this corpse conference for $20m per year. That’s basically suicide for our athletic programs.

Regarding Canzano one of the following must be true:
1) He has knowingly let himself be used as a PAC12 shill
2) His sources have been lying to him all along
3) He doesn't have any real sources and has been making things up all along

Re: Conference Realignment
PAC-12 ratings were abysmal and there were literally thousands of conference fans who refused to switch to a service that provided access to the network and just didn’t see their teams play unless it was on a pirated stream or they waited until they showed up on ESPN.
Banking on people subscribing to AppleTV’s elevated sports package to up the revenue numbers is just about as dumb as believing that Nigerian prince just needs a small loan to unlock the millions of dollars that have been set aside for you.

Re: Conference Realignment
Personally I don't believe the money part is tricky at all. PAC9 football fans are the most apathetic in all of college football.
I can't fathom the average PAC9 West Coast football fan forking over $$$$ for streaming.
Whats the old adage, "A bird in hand is worth more than 2 in the bush"?
Time to move on.

The 1 thing I do know with 100% certainty.... The thing that Bobby Robbins hates the most in life... is being disliked or blamed.... for anything.
I could see this entire thing being decided on how Robbins feels he will be perceived for this decision.

Re: Conference Realignment
Don't really care about the lame sentiment of "conference unity", and program need to follow the money.
But losing the home court advantage in the P12 Tourney in Vegas and the Territorial Cup in football are the biggest secondary negative effects.
I would like to visit those Plains states small college towns, but they are much harder to reach / more expensive to fly to unless you already live nearby. Then again, LA is also sort of bait and switch about how "easy" it is to get around.
