Big 12 expansion sees Arizona calling for Board of Regents meeting as Wildcats' Pac-12 exit rumors intensify

Arizona Board of Regents has scheduled a meeting for Tuesday evening at 5:30 PM Eastern. The Arizona Board of Regents members are Arizona, Northern Arizona and Arizona State so this could be the end of these teams in the Pac-12 as they prepare to head to the Big 12.

It will be interesting to see what the results of this meeting are. With the Pac-12 seemingly struggling to find a media rights deal and the Big 12 expansion wanting to include at least some programs, this will be very informative.

Will the Arizona Board of Regents decide to join the Big 12?

The Arizona Board of Regents may decide there is no reason to stay in the Pac-12. The rumor going around is the Pac-12 TV deal is going to pay out $19.7 million per team and that is a good amount. However, the Big 12 is offering $31.7 million and that $12 million per team is huge.

The Big 12 seems to have a plan in place. If all three programs from the Arizona Board of Regents are joining, this could help the Big 12 Mexico plans as these programs are right near the border.

However, there is also the possibility that they decide to double down on the Pac-12 and not leave to be part of any expansion.

What does this call mean for the Pac-12?

Considering the urgency of the meeting, this does not look positive for the Pac-12. They have already lost three programs in the previous 18 months and this could double the number.

Pac-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff needs to have a plan otherwise this could spell the death knell for the Conference of Champions.
