Arizona to big 12
- Thread starter Optionfootball69
- Start date
Maybe, maybe not. Though an NU grad and fan I have much deeper roots to ASU and significant ties to the UofA. I don’t know anything about the current Regents makeup but these two institutions are anything but bosom buddies extending back 50 years or more when ASU was playing catch-up programmatically to the UofA and believed they were blocked at every turn. Especially at the AZ Legislature.
One catch though would be preserving the annual football game.

Well people always said that about Texas and Texas A&M before A&M jumped by itself. And they said it about Oklahoma and Oklahoma State before Oklahoma jumped. It's a new world.
Except for the fact that AZ and ASU are similar to NU and UNO. Both are governed by 1 board of regents. If you were on the board would you want to deal with separate conferences or 1
You totally missed my point. Point is UA and ASU are governed by the same board of regents....just like unl, uno, unk and umnc. Easier for NU than it would be for ASU and UA. Since those 2 schools are in same conference and div 1 probably a lot harder for them. Ok??
It’s ironic. Several years ago the PAC had an opportunity to invite Ok, Ok St, Tex, and Tex Tech. This could have solidified the PAC’s future and totally destroyed the Big 12. They chose not to invite those schools due mainly to the PAC’s inflated ego regarding their academic superiority.
Now the shoe is on the other foot. The Big 12 ( with help from the B1G) has a chance to potentially destroy the PAC. And they will do it. The PAC’s ego is ultimately going to be what destroyed them.
Are we ready for a B1G vs Big 12 matchup in the Rose Bowl every year?

I was always skeptical of Texas and OU going to the Pac 10...I think Texas was just flexing. Never bought it.
Wasn't the Longhorn network part of the breakdown in negotiations?
Who the fvck knows...prolly get 10 different stores from people all claiming to be in the know now...but I never bought it. Ever.
They have 1 board governing both schools 🏫 . It would be better and easier if both ASU and Arizona would be in the same conference That is the point OP was making. Why do you have to be so difficult and a Smart ass about everything.

At least we would win. Who cares who we play. The easier the better. Big 8 wasn’t a good conference but we won.
??? The Big 8 in the 70s, 80s and early to mid 90's was a damn good conference!
In 2010 Larry Scott (PAC commish) offered Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St. and damn near got them by allowing Texas to keep a regional profile for the Longhorn network. Texas pulled the plug on the whole deal. Scott took Colorado and Utah. Nebraska split for the BIg 10.
In 2011 Larry Scott offered Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Kansas membership (the PAC presidents/chancellors made Scott offer Kansas instead of Oklahoma St.) Texas again pulled plug on the whole deal. Texas A&M and Missouri split for the SEC.
In 2013 (I think) Boren tried to take Oklahoma along with Oklahoma St. to the PAC - no Texas or anyone else. At the last hour, the PAC presidents/Chancellors killed it - No Texas No deal. Boren looked like a jackass - Oklahoma was humiliated. Stoops wanted in the PAC.
Arizona State and Utah are next for the Big 12 . Reporting talks are ramping up.
Take out Oklahoma. Pelini would have won the conference half the time in the big 8.
Big sucked in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Nebraska and Oklahoma would have owned the BIG 10
You forgot the 2000s, 2010s and 2020s
Two fans from teams they wish Nebraska would respect responding to one another on the Husker board
Doesn’t get much better than that!
It’s hilarious when Big Ten ass lickers bring up the “Big 8 sucked besides Oklahoma and Nebraska” argument. As if the entire world hasn’t viewed the Blowhard Ten as a two-team conference for the past 60 years.
Until about 16 months ago...it was a one team conference. Jimmy finally got Michigan rollin...but before that time, Michigan somehow got remembered for being better than it really was.
