Insiders saying Utes to the B12 tomorrow. B12 told the Utes their spot is saved but need an answer by the end of the weekend.
Arizona to make it official tonight at the BoR meeting.

At this point I’m being optimistic more than anything. It does seem like it would work, but there are definitely issues they’d have to sort out.
Hoping the B10 doesn’t want anything to do with CaliStan and they hold pat at 4. They can build a conference back with 4.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
The Pac 12 owes Comcast 50 million bucks due to an overpay on the Pac 12 network. The soon to be 4 remaining members probably don't want to be on the hook for that just to keep the name. I am sure there will be litigation over all of this.
I believe Stanford will go independent in football and find some place for their others sports. Cal may be lumped in with OSU and WSU now. That would mean a 15 member MW should they go there.
I am sure none of those schools are happy and I feel bad for their fans. However, there is a reason they are left behind. Their brand is not strong enough to get AAC and MW schools to pay exit fees to join what would be a second G5 conference in the west. Not good..
It is still possible all 4 will land somewhere else. I am bummed this happening. I have lots of friends and family members who are Pac 12 graduates. My wife graduated from Oregon State.
Word in OKC Big XII media land is Arizona to announce Big12 invite in next day or so and Utah and Arizona State to follow
