So…
Here we sit. Yormark is meeting with Phil Knight to discuss Oregon and Stanford additions as well as the Notre Dame bookend media deal with NBC. Phil Knight is a booster for both Stanford and Oregon and working to protect both. ND pushing Stanford and using NBC deal.
That means the real Big XII targets are Oregon, Stanford, Washington, Arizona. Right?
Colorado has recently blasted the Big XII calling it a JUCO conference. Utah has been salty (we have BYU). Arizona called the Big XII first and is rumored to be an addition in media value to the Big XII while it doesn’t bring as much value to the New PAC12.
Arizona has also been rumored to be able to make a conference move without ASU who has recently appeared to side more with Oregon/Washington/Stanford in their solidarity and work to keep the conference together. Meanwhile they work the back channels to keep the Big XII option alive.
