The Big 12 is adding Arizona, Arizona State and Utah as members next year, completing its raid of the Pac-12. The latest blow to the Pac-12 came just hours after the Big Ten welcomed Oregon and Washington to grow its new West Coast wing next year.
The Big Ten’s latest grab from its Rose Bowl partners comes a little more than a year after it landed Southern California and UCLA. With the Ducks and Huskies, too, the Big Ten will be an 18-team conference. The Big Ten will be the largest conference in major college sports, spanning 15 states from New Jersey to Washington.
The additions of the Arizona schools and Utah give the Big 12 16 schools, stretching from Florida to Arizona.
