In the wake of USC and UCLA officially defecting from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten, the Big 12 is reportedly jumping at the opportunity to solidify its standing in the college athletics landscape with plans to add multiple members from the league, CBS Sports’ Dennis Dodd reported on Tuesday.
Dodd reports that the Big 12 is in “deep discussions” to add Pac-12 schools and convert them to the Big 12, with four being considered and two more — Oregon and Washington !!) — potentially in play. A merger may also be on the table, he reports.
