The University of Arizona on Thursday inched closer to leaving the Pac-12 — a conference it has called home since 1978 — and joining the Big 12.
Michael Lev The University of Arizona is on the verge of joining the Big 12 Conference, according to multiple reports.
Big 12 officials met Thursday to approve the addition of Arizona as its 14th member, per reports, paving the way for a new era of UA athletics. Robbins said multiple times this year that the figures presented by the Pac-12 for its next media-rights deal would dictate whether the UA stayed or sought something more lucrative. Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff finally showed his cards this week, revealing a streaming-centric deal with Apple that fell well short of the $31.7 million that Arizona can receive annually from the Big 12.
