Outlook
If Arizona is gonna be joining the conference, so is their in-state rival Arizona State. Currently with one of the brightest futures in college football, former NFL head coach Herm Edwards has turned around the Sun Devils program.
Ranking in the top five in the Pac 12 in the past two recruiting classes, Arizona State had a better 2020 class than every Big 12 school not named Texas or Oklahoma. Once they have the ability to tap into the state of Texas to sign players, their talent will only get better.
If they were to join, Arizona State’s campus would be the furthest west in the Big 12. However, having other schools from the Pac 12 join would reduce travel and only make it an issue when a school like West Virginia has to travel that far west.
