Big 12 vs. Pac-12 Basketball Attendance Comparison
The Pac-12’s fall from grace has been creeping up with expansion talk from other conferences on a daily basis, and another example of that is the difference in basketball attendance numbers compared to the Big 12 Conference. The Big 12 is the best conference in basketball so it’s expected to see...www.heartlandcollegesports.com
If so, then why does Colorado leaving mean so much?He has a point. Again…the Buffs, by themselves, mean close to nothing.
It’s all about school exposure. I don’t remember exact numbers but about 15 years ago my brother was working at Fresno St when they made a miracle run in the College World Series. Their application rate skyrocketed that next year.Just trying to understand this, but how would a conference affiliation help with enrollment?
ASU may end up taking their time to a Mountain West affiliation. Utah as well.
Someone gave me a "creative" but I'm telling you Arizona was looking at B12 before USC/UCLA even left. These #s don't lie to a school who cares about hoops.

The takeaway is the conference members are beginning to realize the fragile nature of the conference. If the conference had strong footing, they would have reached a media rights deal long ago. Colorado leaving the conference and rejoining a conference they left 12 or so years ago is a huge statement.He has a point. Again…the Buffs, by themselves, mean close to nothing.
It means something, in my mind, because it simply can’t be the end. It’s been covered a little bit already (@HoopsTournament covered it briefly). It is impossible to schedule with 13 teams. Not just “hard”, but mathematically impossible, so the Big12 has to add another institution.If so, then why does Colorado leaving mean so much?
I'm not disagreeing with you that Colorado wasn't successful in football over the last decade, but if they really were bottom of the barrel, no one cared, then them leaving should, at worst, do nothing, and at best strengthen the Pac9 position going forward.
I mean, rumors of Arizona to the Big 12 have been a thing for close to a decade now. In part I always thought it was mostly our own wishful thinking, but perhaps not.
This dude is awesome. I might keep following after this whole re-alignment thing cools off.
