. Dodd mentions Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah specifically, while adding that Oregon and Washington are also under consideration. Also on the table is a merger between the Big 12 and remaining Pac-12 schools. How the Big 12 chooses to proceed will come down to what resolution the conference believes will make it more likely to get a richer media rights deal. It’s believed that adding Arizona, Arizona State, Utah and Colorado would give the conference the same annual average value in 2025—the year Texas and Oklahoma leave for the SEC—as it does for its current 12 members now.

USC, UCLA move to Big Ten could mean early Big 12 exit for Oklahoma and Texas | OpinionThe Big Ten’s expansion launches in 2024 with a new TV deal, probably with Fox.

I would much rather watch an 8-0 Minnesota, Iowa, Kentucky, or Oklahoma State play than a 5-3 Oklahoma versus 4-4 Auburn, every day of the week. Super conferences will destroy this.
