'The school is mulling a potential move to the Big 12, according to sources, and Wednesday’s meeting represents a potential step in the process for university officials to approve a move there, according to sources. Colorado has discussed athletics in a private session multiple times in recent months, but sources indicate the tenor of this meeting is different."
It doesn’t make sense geographically or monetarily, but Wazzu and Oregon State would make great cultural fits in the Big 12
I think they’re at least slightly underrated monetarily, Wazzu in particular is sending alums back to the same Seattle metro as UW, and geography is right out at this point, but I do think that the 4-corner schools are more like “California light” for viewership, etc., and I also don’t think either of WSU/OSU will let go of their in-state rival until there’s no choice.
