BC it's not relevant. Just as you mention both AZs coming together.
Markets matter more ahead of a contract negotiation. Especially if you have a conf network trying to get cable subscription royalties.
That's not where the market is going.
ESPN and Fox want big games. They pay a premium to have a draft each week.
You may be right about Utah falling. But the reality is this will all go down in the next few months.
As we stand, Utah finished 5th in the 2019 reg season. 11th in 2021, 10th last year and will start next season in the top 12/13.
Then followed up with the highest recruiting class in the Big 12 (or nearly equal to TCU).
The odds of marquee games in SLC continuing are exponentially higher those other candidates.
Why would the Big 12 pass that up right now for 1-9 CU? It's not happening.

Unfortunately, the Arizonas by themselves aren't that appealing to either. P10 would just replace them

You'll notice, they never talk about just taking the Arizonas. Or even CU and an Arizona. It's always Utah

They? Also, every deal has to have some throw-in ... just like when the pac 10 took the utes before.

Sounds like he's hoping for an invite rather than looking to stay in the pac 12-2 although I thought that

It's not writing on the wall. Utah is in a great spot. Either P12 stays together or Utah jumps to Big 12.

You guys too. Like I said, if the Pac 10 falls, you're going to be very surprised Utah gets the invite.
