RE: Dennis Dodd: Big 12 readies to Pounce on 4 Corner Schools
Lessssgo!
“ It may not stop with the entertainment aspect. Yormark continues to pursue the Pac-12's Four Corners schools: Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah. There have been "weekly" conversations between the Big 12 and those four programs as talks have heated up, one league insider tells CBS Sports.”
"That, to me, is the one we have to get," Self said of Arizona.
"I've always thought the Arizona schools, Colorado and Utah are a natural fit for us," Kansas State coach Jerome Tang said. "Who doesn't want to visit Arizona?"

As everyone in Morgantown and Orlando start thinking about the ACC.

I guess that ESPN and FOX have agreed on the additions?

Wild that active coaches would go on the record like that talking about potential additions from the PAC.

Watch West Virginia, Cincinnati and UCF to contact ACC for them to join that conference. BYU was enough, but those four would make their other sports a headache to travel cross country for.
But, Dodd and others also said that the AAC would grab the Big 12 schools as well to a point that the Big 12 would be no more. I am taking these writers like Dodd and others with a grain of salt because they have been wrong in the past before.

Those three have been wanting to join the ACC for years and years. Why would the ACC bite now?

To me, that means it’s happening. Coaches wouldn’t publicly go on the record with those comments.

Not to mention the exit fees involved for those schools. It’s a nonstarter.

Not going to happen. Coaches can say all they want, but they have no choice if schools are not willing to join the Big 12.

Good to be skeptical regarding Dodd. But I don't foresee West Virginia, Cincinnati and UCF wanting to join an ACC that they feel will likely be ripped apart at some point by the Big Ten and the SEC. And if the Four Corners schools move to the Big 12 (which is seeming more and more likely), that move will be (in large part) because those four schools feel the Pac 12 could lose Oregon and Washington to the Big Ten.
The Big 12 is trying to position itself to be the clear "No. 3" all-sports league once the game of musical chairs stops. Get the Four Corners and the league is on its way to successfully accomplishing that goal.

Adding Arizona, Arizona State and Colorado to your football conference and thinking it makes you better is a big flex.. lol..I guess Vandy, Boston College, and Rutgers weren't available..

Adding better quality football schools like Air Force, Boise State, Fresno State and San Deigo State are better adds than adding Colorado, Arizona and Arizona State.

I think those teams have likely bought in to the vision of being a national conference at this point and know what they are getting in to.
I have no idea if they would still rather be in the ACC, but I wouldn't count on it.

To replace FSU, Clemson and whoever leaves after the performance based payouts start in the ACC.

Until all the money dries up and they are stuck in a coast to coast conference.
