If anything they may not be desirable by the big12 and they know it, so they're scrambling to find other options.

The big12 knows how they bow to the woke g*ds. If there are other candidates that are comparable, why not go with them. I don't see the AZ schools as completely bought in to these woke g*ds. Curious if there is some evidence that they are though...?
