as logical fits in the big 12. they have far more in common with texas than california, culturally. and they'd make more money. there's a case for it.

"Long-time Arizona Daily Star columnist Greg Hansen caused a stir over the weekend when he suggested that Arizona, and possibly Arizona State, might be better fits for the Big 12 than the Pac-12."
