The Pac-12 Conference is set to revive itself by adding Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, and San Diego State, effective July 1, 2026, joining the remaining members Oregon State and Washington State. This move comes after the Pac-12 was left with only two schools following a mass exodus of ten members to other conferences, primarily due to failed media rights negotiations. With the NCAA requiring a minimum of eight schools to maintain FBS status, the Pac-12 has a two-year grace period to secure additional members. The conference is expected to incur around $110 million in exit fees and penalties to the Mountain West due to these changes. Pac-12 Commissioner Teresa Gould emphasized the league's commitment to growth and its historic significance in collegiate athletics. The additions have sparked discussions about the future competitiveness and branding of the Pac-12 in the evolving landscape of college sports.
