The Pac-12 has appointed Teresa Gould, the league's deputy commissioner, as its new commissioner beginning March 1.

Gould, who takes over for George Kliavkoff, will become the first woman to be commissioner of a Power 5 conference. She was appointed by the presidents of Washington State and Oregon State, who make up the Pac-12 board because of the impending departures of the league's six other members to the Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC. In December, the two schools received full control of the league's decision-making after settling a legal dispute with the 10 other members.
