Arizona joining the SEC, I’d say is not very likely to happen, at all. GG says that this possibility isn’t so much a matter of need for the Wildcats to entertain, as it is more of a “lets throw this at the wall and see if it sticks,” possibility.

I hate to say it, but it slid down the wall. This is more of a wish-list pick, than anything. I believe that the PAC 12 conference is here to stay, and it has the revenue, backing, and winning programs within the conference to not warrant a change. Basically, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

On the off chance that the Wildcats were to realign to the SEC, their basketball program would be a nice addition to the SEC, and its football program is competitive, but it would not flourish in the SEC, the way that it has in the PAC 12.
