Sources: Colorado board discussing Big 12 move
www.espn.com
The future of Colorado in the Pac-12 is in flux, as the school is discussing a potential move to the Big 12 during a university board of trustees meeting Wednesday, sources say.

'The school is mulling a potential move to the Big 12, according to sources, and Wednesday’s meeting represents a potential step in the process for university officials to approve a move there, according to sources. Colorado has discussed athletics in a private session multiple times in recent months, but sources indicate the tenor of this meeting is different."

    As an OkSt fan, I’m hoping this pulls the 2 AZ teams along with CO… Utah would be nice too, to be with byu

    I’m sure Wash and Oregon will be jumping to the b10 as soon as a spot opens up anyways. So, it would be in the interest of those 4 getting a spot elsewhere sooner, rather than later. IMHO ofc.

      It doesn’t make sense geographically or monetarily, but Wazzu and Oregon State would make great cultural fits in the Big 12

        I think they’re at least slightly underrated monetarily, Wazzu in particular is sending alums back to the same Seattle metro as UW, and geography is right out at this point, but I do think that the 4-corner schools are more like “California light” for viewership, etc., and I also don’t think either of WSU/OSU will let go of their in-state rival until there’s no choice.

      Yeah, I’d prefer Utah to UConn, but if the Utes are ride-or-die with their nerdy best friends in California, then the basketball play is a lot more palatable when it’s just one of four.

      I don’t see the B12 going bigger than The SEC or B1G unless Oregon and/or Washington want to ride out a media deal in the B12 before they join USCLA. I have to think Yormark is salivating over the thought of dining on ACC teams, even if the Super-2 get first pick.
