I find this rumor particularly interesting
If true then it unlocks several potential next steps. And even if it doesn’t happen, props to the B12 for being creative and weaving their straw into gold.
1. Huge for basketball, in what is already the second best P5 league (ACC still #1 with all our titles)
2. Zags alone would be on an island. But, look at who is a short distance away from them and could expand the conference geography and would likely jump. Wash St, Oregon St, and Boise St.
3. If the B12 can get the northwest, the. It helps their sales pitch to the four corner schools. Zags open the door and give a path for the B12 to get up to as many as 20 if they want.
All speculation of course. But the potential is there if this rumor is true.

I'd like this, too. And some B12 teams to the PAC, too.

If the Pac-12 implodes and the Big 12 takes WSU and OSU it could work.**
