SALT LAKE CITY — The Pac-12 announced weeks ago that the league’s women’s gymnastics championship would have a new home at West Valley City’s Maverik Center for the next three years.
“There’s been discussion about it for some time,” Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said Friday ahead of the Utah-Arizona football game.
The conference already had several programs consistently competing at an elite level — seven of the eight programs advanced to last year’s post season and four qualified for semifinals — so any upgrade to the league's championship needed a podium as the next step.
