In my opinion, looks like AZ is setting the table to jump to the Big 12. Here are the comments:

University of Arizona president Robert Robbins tried to quiet rumors that his school, or any in the Pac-12, is currently looking to the Big 12 for membership.

"There's a lot of disinformation, for instance, that Arizona is going to the Big 12," Robbins said recently.

"We're not going to the Big 12. We wanna see what the deal is here [in the Pac-12] because we are all, including Arizona, including Arizona State, and all the other schools, want to keep the Conference of Champions together.
"

Fist impression is the comments are in direct opposition to my conclusion. BUT, if AZ or any other school wants to avoid legal liability for the implosion of the PAC 12 they must make the strongest comments in support of the PAC 12 right up to the point when they leave. The comments feel like the dreaded "vote of confidence" for a coach.

An opinion piece about the Big 10 being a mid major.    Enjoy.

Thanks Tower. I DID enjoy this very much. Especially after Izzo's asinine comment about the Big 10 being the best bball conference.  ;D

Spot on, although I will give the Big 10 credit for more often than not having the ability to get quality non-conference wins in November and December which keep their team NET scores artificially high the rest of the year and make most of their games quad 1 and 2 regardless of how much the team might have regressed.

The league was clearly inferior and it show in the results.  The actual game results.  This guys is an idiot.  Wow!  Jay Bilas will probably in lock step with this clown.  Embarrassing.

The only way most of the Pac 12 survives as major college players is if they merge with the Big 12.

Only Washington and Oregon otherwise survive if this doesn't happen.

It isn't if, it's when!

Same for the ACC, expect its screwed.

Sorry to bump this thread. But I just can't get enough of the B10 NCAA Tourney performances being called out as fraudulent.

What a total embarrassment of a conference.  This is the same freaking league that poached Pitt and Syracuse, and then L'Ville, and immediately proclaimed it to be the best conference in history with a sit down on ESP.N with Coach K, Roy, Pitino, and Boeheim.  What a pathetic, cry-baby, response.

Out of curiosity I popped over to a Syracuse site to see how Phillip's act is playing to his constituents, 9/10 think he's a cry baby, embarrassing and some think he should be fired. Even a couple of calls to return to the Big East  :D

League is having an solid post season run. I believe 14-1. Yet, 4 of the schools move to the AAC in June.

Is that serious? Because that makes no sense.
The PAC is a mess. BYU would have been a good fit but they fell asleep at the wheel.

PAC12…San Diego St is a no-brainer. UNLV is upgrading facilities combined with being the ‘in’ market. Surprised no discussion on them.
Moron? Maybe. Dork? Possibly. Lost? Definitely.

Problem is that UNLV has absolutely sucked on the football field and hasn’t done much better elsewhere.

true that, but Colorado has been football garbage for a lot of seasons. I would think UNLV would elevate in hoops with PAC12 entry, and football might get to ‘good enough’. Splashy market, close proximity on travel. I don’t know if the academics align.

I'm pretty sure that academics no longer matter in conference alignment.

Colorado’s football history way exceeds UNLV’s. And I think the theory that a conference will help to lift up a relatively bad program has been disproven repeatedly.

I would have agreed but explain their supposed interest in Rice and Tulane?
