“With Texas and Oklahoma off to the SEC, there is speculation that the rest of the Big 12 could separate and join other conferences as well. However, don’t expect the Pac-12 to do a lot of poaching. Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff is not interested in recruiting any of the leftover teams in the Big 12, according to ESPN senior writer Heather Dinich. The Pac-12 takes a lot of pride in the academic reputation of its institutions, so the league will not just accept any Big 12 team that wants to jump ship at this point.”

I agree with this policy.  However the admit rate for Arizona, ASU, and Oregon State is above 80%.   Without looking it up I would bet the admit rate of Baylor, Texas Tech, and TCU is less than that. Of course there is a lot more that goes into it. I'd have to look up those three Big-12 schools to see if they are considered research institutions with post-grad programs and other criteria.
