__________________
– Dr. Robert Robbins, former cardiac surgeon turned University of Arizona president, holds significant influence in college athletics.
– Recent conference realignments have left the Pac-12 with only nine schools, as Colorado moves to the Big 12 and USC/UCLA to the Big Ten.
– Colorado's departure might not heavily impact the Pac-12, given their average sports performance.
– Pac-12 could easily replace Colorado and expand to twelve members by inviting schools like San Diego State, SMU, UNLV, Boise State, Fresno State, and Colorado State.
– Football coach Deion Sanders has brought attention to Colorado, but there's still much improvement needed.
– San Diego State desires to join the Pac-12 but remains stuck in the Mountain West due to a substantial buyout.
– Adding new schools would shape the future of college sports, potentially revitalizing Pac-12 athletics.
– Dr. Robbins' decisions for Wildcat athletics will play a significant role in the college sports landscape.
