Regarding Arizona's future, there is a lot of speculation regarding the school going to the Big 12 in the near future. Colorado has already gone to the Big 12, and it seems that the conference is targeting Arizona, Arizona State and potentially Utah as well.

Regarding the Big Ten, many believe that Oregon and Washington will eventually be added, with Cal and Stanford being added potentially as well.

Conference realignment is heating up. It will be interesting to monitor what moves will happen. It seems that we might have news in the near future regarding both the Big 12 and the Big Ten. Arizona might be incentivized to get out of the Pac-12 with all of the uncertainty, and the lack of ability to get a media rights deal done.
