The Arizona Board of Regents scheduled a meeting for Thursday evening. The meeting is set to almost immediately go into executive session to review assignments for the two Pac-12 schools.
A group of Big Ten presidents has begun discussing the possibility of adding more West Coast schools to the conference if the Pac-12 continues to crumble, two people familiar with the conversations told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The Pac-12 is hoping to keep its remaining members together with a media rights deal that would make Apple TV the conference's primary home, ESPN reported Tuesday. The deal might not be enough to prevent more defections to the Big 12, with the remaining schools in the Four Corners region, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah, the prime targets.
RELATED: Pac-12 leaders hear details of media deal, but no vote to accept terms as league future stays murky While former Commissioner Kevin Warren kept the idea of more Western expansion alive in the Big Ten, a change of leadership seemed to cool down a desire for more growth in the league. The Big Ten has been reluctant to add more schools because they won't increase the value of the seven-year, $7 billion media rights deals with Fox, CBS and NBC that begin this season.

Pac-12 leaders hear details of media deal, no vote to accept termsPac-12 leaders were presented details of a long-awaited media rights deal Tuesday by Commissioner George Kliavkoff. A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that the meeting concluded without voting on whether to accept the terms by the nine remaining Pac-12 schools. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Pac-12 was not making its internal discussions public, and gave no further details about prospective network or streaming partners nor the value. The meeting comes just days after Colorado decided not to wait and see what Kliavkoff could deliver and announced it would re-join the Big 12 in 2024.
