Will Utah Struggle in Expansion Big 12 Since Pac-12 Football Was So Bad? | Realignment Adjustments
Manage episode 435007424 series 2885484
The Big 12 Conference's recent expansion to the West marks a significant and strategic shift in the college sports landscape. By welcoming four new schools—Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah—the Big 12 has expanded its footprint beyond its traditional Midwestern and Southern roots, stretching into the Mountain and Pacific time zones. This westward expansion not only broadens the conference's geographic reach but also enhances its competitiveness and marketability on a national scale.
Adding these schools brings a wealth of athletic talent and fan engagement to the Big 12. Arizona and Arizona State are known for their strong basketball programs, which will further elevate the conference's reputation as one of the nation's premier basketball leagues. Colorado, a former Big 12 member, returns with a solid football history and a passionate fan base, adding familiarity and rekindling old rivalries. Utah, with its recent success in football, including multiple Pac-12 championships, provides the Big 12 with another powerhouse program that can compete at the highest level.
This expansion also strategically positions the Big 12 in key media markets in the West, increasing the conference’s exposure and television revenue potential. By securing a presence in major cities like Phoenix and Salt Lake City, the Big 12 can attract more viewers, sponsors, and recruits from a wider geographic area.
In summary, the Big 12’s westward expansion is a bold move that strengthens the conference both athletically and commercially, ensuring its continued relevance and competitiveness in the rapidly changing landscape of college sports.
