Arizona President Robert Robbins met with the media Monday to discuss Friday’s turn of events. When the dust settled, the Wildcats had finalized a move to the Big 12 alongside Arizona State and Utah.

As for when things went south for the Pac-12, Robbins said teams were showing up and prepared to sign over the grant of rights to the Pac-12. Then, the group was informed by one of the Oregon/Washington presidents about 10 minutes before signing that they were “taking our talents to the Big Ten.”

As for the potential media rights package with Apple, Robbins equated it as “selling candy bars for Little League” or Girl Scout cookies. Whether or not that’s a true representation, the reported details of an Apple package included some out-of-the-box aspects as compared to a normal media rights deal.

At the end of the day, everything might work out just fine for Arizona after landing in the Big 12. Unfortunately, the string of realignment moves comes at the cost of the Pac-12 as we know it.
