What did Arizona Wildcats coach Jeff Fisch say about the move to the Big 12?

Arizona Wildcats coach Jedd Fisch discussed the move to the Big 12:

"Clearly we all love being in the Pac-12 and playing schools on the West Coast. As the schools on the West Coast were no longer in the Pac-12, it made things more difficult and challenging for all aspects of the game.

"When we found out about the changes that other programs were making and the decisions other programs were having, it was the only move at this point in time. There's a lot of positives behind it. We're talking about programs that have been where we all strive to be, which is the College Football Playoff." [h/t KVOA Tucson]
