In recent days, rumors have circulated about Arizona potentially joining in on the collegiate sports realignment frenzy with a move from the Pac-12 to the Big 12.
However, university president Bobby Robbins cleared the air on Wednesday when speaking to media, noting the school’s ties with in-state rival and fellow Pac-12 member Arizona State.
“We [the two schools] don’t have to do the same thing,” Robbins said, via ESPN’s Pete Thamel. “But [ASU] President [Michael] Crow and I are very, very tight. I think it’d be unlikely that we’d be split up. Right now with 10 schools, we control a very nice 20% of solidarity.”
