The Pac-12 is ready to begin its rebuild.
Ashton Jeanty #2 of the Boise State Broncos runs for a touchdown against the Oregon Ducks during the first half at Autzen Stadium on September 7, 2024 in Eugene, Oregon.
NCAA rules allow for a conference to operate with only two schools for two years. Teresa Gould was hired to be the Pac-12 commissioner earlier this year, leading a slimmed down league office. In a recent interview with the AP, Washington State President Kirk Schulz hinted at what could be next for the the Cougars and Beavers.
Mountain West exit fees go down the further out a school departs, making it financially prudent for the Pac-12 to wait until 2026 to add the new schools. Still, the conference will have to pay close to $30 million for each school to the Mountain West in exit fees and penalties that were included in the scheduling agreement.
