The B1G didn’t offer the other west coast teams at the time because they couldn’t get them full share. Considering the state media companies are in, they probably still can’t, and are meeting to discuss whether to offer partial share.

Last night Arizona voted and have the support to join the B12, but they know their seat at the table is set and they don’t want to look like they killed the conference. They may also be looking to see if a better PAC deal arrives (it probably won’t).

B1G met today because the thought of paying an exit fee for two more teams is becoming a real possibility. But offering partial share to two of the largest remaining teams, when your new up and coming rival can offer a full share immediately? That’s gonna look really bad.

Arizona State and Utah add to the B12 what they already have and are sloppy seconds

I know the Big XII wants Arizona basketball but ASU is the better football brand so that’s a wash
