ASU vice president for athletics Ray Anderson released a statement Tuesday afternoon signaling the school’s intention, at least short term, to remain in the Pac-12 conference.
“ASU remains fully committed to the Pac-12 Conference,” Anderson said. “ASU continues to work closely with the other remaining conference members to advance the best interests of its student-athletes as well as to support the continued success of the conference itself.”
The statement comes during a whirlwind news day for conference realignment rumors. Earlier in the day, the Pac-12 announced that the board of directors gave the green light to begin talks for its next media rights deal.
