USC, of course, is the big dog. But the original PAC 8 still seem to view themselves as the true conference. UA/ASU have to fight to get equal “say” within the conference.
They are getting tired of it...and BigXII is looking around so UA/ASU are starting to reach out to test the waters of what might be the situation if they were to jump the BigXII.
Me personally, I think this is pride thing, and they are just b$&t hurt. But going to a conference with Texas is not going to be what they think it’s going to be like.
