Well, the ink may not even be dry, but it’s a done deal.
Arizona, Arizona State and Utah have made their move to “officially” join the Big 12 and just like that, in a matter of days - not counting the years of lead-up to this point - the Pac-12 as we know it is gone. For those not keeping score at home, this is how it will all shake out beginning for the 2024 athletic seasons.
- Big Ten: Oregon, UCLA, USC, Washington
- Big 12: Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Utah
- Pac-12: California, Stanford, Oregon State, Washington State
So yes, some of you will notice the Pac-12 has become a Pac-4 and with the league expecting to go on into the future, it will most likely at least need to six teams to reach the respectable mark of ten schools for a conference.
