The Pac-12 is ready to begin its rebuild, targeting Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State and San Diego State of the Mountain West, with those schools applying for membership as soon as this week.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — The Pac-12 is ready to begin its rebuild, targeting Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State and San Diego State of the Mountain West, with those schools applying for membership as soon as this week, two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday night.The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the conference's plans and discussions with possible new members were not being made public.
Leaders at Oregon State and Washington State have insisted since the conference collapsed last year their priority was to rebuild.Those efforts are poised to start about a week after Oregon State and Washington State failed to renew for 2025 a football scheduling agreement they have in place with the Mountain West this season.Any new Pac-12 members would join in 2026, and the conference would have to pay close to $30 million for each school to the Mountain West in exit fees and penalties.
