The latest realignment ripple has hit its first formal stages, as sources tell ESPN that both Utah and Arizona State have applied to the Big 12 for formal membership.
The application for membership is a necessary first step for schools to be approved to switch leagues and sets the table for Utah, Arizona State and Arizona to join the Big 12 in the near future.
On Friday evening, the Big 12 presidents and chancellors are expected to meet to discuss and likely vote in both ASU and Utah.
It's a process that Arizona went through on Wednesday, as the school applied and voted in to become members after applying. Arizona's membership still has yet to be officially formalized, as the three schools are expected to come in together.
