Wrong school and wrong conference and nowhere near Memorial Day, but... okay.

This has been rumored for a while.  Arizona schools will consider jumping as well.

Colorado is CU.
I've heard Arizona, but not ASU.  
Idk, I feel bad for Utah if the PAC goes to hell.  They're a newb and all they've done is win.

Indy can't work for nearly anyone.The B12 likely will end up being an OK conference.

Because the Big 12 just added BYU and BYU gots the Utah market covered.  Big 12 would rather add a school from a different state or maybe its BYU that is blocking Utah.  Not sure if BYU has any power as a new member.

Plus Utah is being strangely, almost bizarrely loyal to the PAC.  They just simply refuse to discuss the idea of jumping to the Big 12.

It's official.  Colorado BOR approve the move to leave the PAC and rejoin the Big 12 in 2024.

Why leave the place you kick ass in?  Let's add Hawai'i Tech and Alaska-Anchorage, keep this baby truckin'!!!!

The reason to move is money.  Teams didn't leave the whatever conference for the Big 12 in order to kick ass, they left for $$$$ clearly.  It's huge.

We can't know what kind of deal the Pac 4 may finally get, but it won't be attractive.
