With Colorado jumping to the Big 12 starting next year, the conference is plotting to add more schools to the mix in time for the 2024-25 academic year.
Per Sports Illustrated's Pat Forde and Richard Johnson, the Big 12 wants to get up to 14 members with Pac-12 schools Arizona, Arizona State and Utah—as well as Connecticut, which is independent in football—being targeted by conference commissioner Brett Yormark.
The report notes Arizona is the most likely candidate among the Pac-12 programs to jump ship, with Connecticut considered a fallback option if none of the three teams decides to leave.
