The Pac-12 is adding Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State and San Diego State, starting in 2026, to join Oregon State and Washington State
Washington State running back Wayshawn Parker carries the ball during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Texas Tech, Saturday, Sept. 7, 2024, in Pullman, Wash. in a rebuilt Conference of Champions.
Still, it is a remarkable comeback for a conference left for dead a year ago when 10 members scattered to other power conferences after it was unable to secure a media rights deal that schools believed could keep them competitive with other leagues. Gould was hired to be the Pac-12 commissioner earlier this year, leading a slimmed down league office.
Oregon State President Jayathi Murthy and Washington State President Kirk Schulz welcomed their new conference mates in a joint statement. The collapse of the Pac-12 was the culmination of three tumultuous years of conference realignment in college sports, all of which went into affect this year and ushered in the superconference era.
