Utah LEAVING Expansion Big 12 for New Pac-12 Could be CATASTROPHIC Realignment that ESPN, FOX Hate

Locked On Big 12 | Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

If Utah were to leave the Big 12 to help create a new Pac-12 with Oregon State and Washington State, it would undoubtedly throw college football into chaos. Utah has quickly become one of the more successful programs in the Big 12 since joining, and their departure would send shockwaves through the conference.

The new Pac-12 would aim to rebuild itself with Utah as one of its cornerstones, but the road to that would be filled with uncertainty. The Pac-12's recent instability, stemming from the loss of flagship schools like USC and UCLA, has left the conference's future hanging in the balance. Utah, along with Oregon State and Washington State, would need to attract other schools to make the new Pac-12 a competitive and viable option. However, in the current landscape of college athletics, with the Big Ten and Big 12 solidifying themselves, convincing other schools to join could be an uphill battle.

For the Big 12, losing Utah would be a significant blow. The conference has been strengthened by its recent expansion westward, and Utah’s presence has added competitiveness and prestige. Without Utah, the Big 12 would need to scramble to maintain its current trajectory of growth and competition.

This move could also ignite a new wave of conference realignment across the country. Other schools may reconsider their positions in their current conferences, leading to a ripple effect of change. The overall landscape of college football would be left more fractured and chaotic than ever before.
