Odds for the Next School to Accept an Invite to the Big 12 /

The Big 12 Conference is making moves. On Thursday, the league officially welcomed the return of Colorado, who is expected to rejoin the league in 2024.

With the addition of the Buffs, it puts the Big 12 at 13 members for the '24 calendar year but they won't stay there for long. Commissioner Brett Yormark made it pretty clear during media days that he believes in strength in numbers and specifically mentioned 14 as a number they'd like to get to if the opportunity presents itself.

Now that the PAC 12 is on the brink of collapsing, the Big 12 can attempt to poach some of the league's most valuable programs. According to SportsLine, Arizona and Arizona State have the best odds to be the next school to join the Big 12.
