The Big 12 announced Friday night it is adding Arizona, Arizona State and Utah as members next year, completing its raid of the Pac-12. The Big 12 has been targeting the Pac-12’s so-called Four Corner state schools for months, with Colorado making the jump last week. The additions of the Arizona schools and Utah give the Big 12 16 schools, stretching from Florida to Arizona. Arizona State and Utah, after it became apparent that Oregon and Washington were bolting the Pac-12 early Friday, also asked to join the Big 12. The Pac-12 is now down to four members beyond this year: Stanford, California, Oregon State and Washington State.
