Following the victory in the lawsuit, with sole access to all assets of the conference, Oregon State and Washington State were granted permission by the NCAA to act as a defunct conference for the 2024 and 2025 years, as they calculated a plan of attack. If they fail to meet membership requirements by July 1st, 2026, the conference will be disbanded.
Following the victory in the lawsuit, with sole access to all assets of the conference, Oregon State and Washington State were granted permission by the NCAA to act as a defunct conference for the 2024 and 2025 years while planning its future. If they had failed to meet membership requirements by July 1, 2026, the conference would have been disbanded.
 
Varsity teams for the two schools joined the [[West Coast Conference]], [[Mountain West Conference]], and [[Intercollegiate Rowing Association]], depending on the sport, under temporary two-year agreements. Despite this, the Pac-12 sponsored six sports (football, men's and women's track and field, women's gymnastics, wrestling, and baseball). These teams functioned as independents and made heavy use of scheduling agreements with other conferences but acted under the Pac-12 banner and used Pac-12 promotional and broadcast material.
 
On September 12, 2024, it was announced that the conference would add four schools from the Mountain West, led by [[Boise State Broncos|Boise State]], with [[San Diego State Aztecs|San Diego State]], [[Fresno State Bulldogs|Fresno State]], and [[Colorado State Rams|Colorado State]] following. This violated an anti-poaching clause in the scheduling agreement contract between the Pac-12 and Mountain West, requiring an additional exit fee payment to the MWC, but the Pac-12 filed a lawsuit, arguing that the penalties were extreme and violated anti-trust laws.


Varsity teams for the two schools joined the [[West Coast Conference]], [[Mountain West Conference]], and [[Intercollegiate Rowing Association]], depending on the sport, as temporary two year agreements. Despite this, the Pac-12 sponsored six sports (football, men’s and women’s track and field, women's gymnastics, wrestling, and baseball), these teams functioned as independents and made heavy use of scheduling agreements with other conferences, but acted under the Pac-12 banner, and used Pac-12 promotional and broadcast material.
With the conference now at six members and needing two more to get to the required number for FBS eligibility, the conference reached out to prospective members throughout mid-September, including American Conference members [[Memphis Tigers|Memphis]] and [[Tulane Green Wave|Tulane]], Mountain West member [[UNLV Rebels|UNLV]], and FBS Independent [[Uconn Huskies football|UConn]]. During this time, the conference also looked to add a member in Texas, targeting American members [[UTSA Roadrunners|UTSA]], [[North Texas Mean Green|North Texas]], and Rice. It also looked for non-football teams. The West Coast Conference's [[Gonzaga Bulldogs|Gonzaga]] was the Pac-12 top priority, followed by [[Saint Mary's Gaels|Saint Mary's]] and [[Creighton Bluejays men's basketball|Creighton]].


On September 12, 2024, it was announced that four schools from the Mountain West, would be added by the conference, led by [[Boise State Broncos|Boise State]], with [[San Diego State Aztecs|San Diego State]], [[Fresno State Bulldogs|Fresno State]], and [[Colorado State Rams|Colorado State]] in tow, were all added. This violated an anti-poaching clause in the scheduling agreement contract between the Pac-12 and Mountain West, requiring an additional exit fee payment to the MWC, but the Pac-12 filed a lawsuit, arguing that the penalties were extreme, and violated anti-trust laws.  
On September 23, 2024, Memphis, Tulane, [[South Florida Bulls|USF]], and UTSA released a joint statement, acknowledging interest by other conferences, but re-affirming their commitment to the American. UNLV also signed a grant of rights with the Mountain West, and so the Pac-12 regrouped, adding [[Utah State Aggies|Utah State]] as its seventh conference member. Soon after, Utah State and Colorado State joined the anti-poaching lawsuit against the MWC. Boise State also later joined.


With the conference now at 6 members, and needing 2 more to get to the required number for FBS eligibility, the conference reached out to various prospective members throughout mid-september, including American Conference members [[Memphis Tigers|Memphis]] and [[Tulane Green Wave|Tulane]], Mountain West member [[UNLV Rebels|UNLV]], and FBS Independent [[Uconn Huskies football|UConn]]. During this time, the conference also engaged in a separate expansion pipeline for adding a member specifically in the state of Texas, targeting American members [[UTSA Roadrunners|UTSA]], [[North Texas Mean Green|North Texas]], and Rice. The conference believed that they could get a successful eight-team conference minimum by adding at-least one member from each pipeline. A third non-football pipeline was opened at this time, with West Coast Conference's [[Gonzaga Bulldogs|Gonzaga]] being the standout selection, and [[Saint Mary's Gaels|Saint Mary's]] and [[Creighton Bluejays men's basketball|Creighton]] seen as alternatives due to their basketball prowess.
On September 30, 2024, it was announced that Gonzaga would join the conference as its eighth full member, but since Gonzaga does not field football, the conference still needed an eighth football-playing member to retain FBS eligibility.


On September 23, 2024, Memphis, Tulane, [[South Florida Bulls|USF]], and UTSA, released a joint statement, acknowledging interest by other conferences, but re-affirming their commitment to the American. UNLV would also sign a grant of rights with the Mountain West, and so the Pac-12 regrouped, adding [[Utah State Aggies|Utah State]] (largely seen as the third remaining option in the conference behind UNLV and Air Force) as their 7th conference member. Soon after, they and Colorado State would join the anti-poaching lawsuit against the MWC. Boise State would also later join.
As the Pac-12 looked to add their final required member, [[Texas State Bobcats|Texas State]], due to a host of preferred reasons, was largely been seen as the favorite.<ref>{{cite web |publisher=[[ESPN]] |last=Thamel |first=Pete |url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45594710/texas-state-pac-12-expected-finalize-move-soon |title=Sources – Texas State, Pac-12 expected to finalize move soon |date=June 27, 2025 |access-date=June 29, 2025}}</ref> [[New Mexico State Aggies|New Mexico State]], was floated around as a backup emergency option to get to FBS eligibility if talks with Texas State had fallen through. [[Saint Mary's Gaels|Saint Mary's]] (non-football) was also mentioned during this time to boost the conference's basketball abilities.


On September 30, 2024, it was announced that Gonzaga would join the conference as its 8th full member, but as Gonzaga does not field football, the conference still needs an 8th full football playing member to retain FBS eligibility.
On June 30, 2025, it was announced that Texas State would join the Pac-12 as its ninth full member and eighth football member, cementing the conference's eligibility for the FBS.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Conference |first=Pac-12 |date=2025-06-30 |title=Pac-12 Conference welcomes the addition of Texas State University |url=https://pac-12.com/news/2025/6/30/general-pac-12-conference-welcomes-the-addition-of-texas-state-university.aspx}}</ref> It was subsequently reported that the conference was also seeking at least one football-only affiliate to allow for an eight-game conference schedule, with Memphis, UTSA, and Rice named as potential candidates.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Murray |first=Chris |date=2025-07-07 |title=Morning Download: Pac-12 reportedly focused on adding football-only member |url=https://nevadasportsnet.com/news/reporters/morning-download-pac-12-reportedly-focused-on-adding-football-only-member |access-date=2025-07-10 |website=Nevada Sports Net |language=en}}</ref> In September of 2025, it was reported that the Pac-12 was unlikely to add another football playing conference member by 2026, with the conference instead looking towards a timeframe of 2027 to add one of the previously discussed American Conference members. For 2026, the conference instead looked to enter a scheduling agreement with a fellow Group of Six conference, largely believed to be Conference USA, to get the same schedule benefits, to help all conference members get an additional game to help fill out their schedules, as most Pac-12 teams at this time had only scheduled 3–4 non-conference games, so combined with a 7-game conference slate, conference members only had 10–11 regular season games scheduled on the books.


On June 30, 2025, it was announced that Texas State, would join the Pac-12 as its 9th full member and 8th football member, completing the requirement to have eight full football playing members by July 1, 2026 to retain FBS eligibility.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Conference |first=Pac-12 |date=2025-06-30 |title=Pac-12 Conference welcomes the addition of Texas State University |url=https://pac-12.com/news/2025/6/30/general-pac-12-conference-welcomes-the-addition-of-texas-state-university.aspx}}</ref>
In September and October of 2025, the conference acquired multiple affiliate members for specific "Olympic" sports. First, it was announced that the [[Dallas Baptist Patriots baseball|Dallas Baptist Patriots]] would join as a baseball-only member in 2027, moving from Conference USA.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Clarke |first=Ryan |date=2025-08-20 |title=Dallas Baptist to join Pac-12 in baseball in 2027 |url=https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/2025/08/dallas-baptist-to-join-pac-12-in-baseball-in-2027.html |access-date=2025-10-11 |website=oregonlive |language=en}}</ref> Then, the [[Southern Utah Thunderbirds women's gymnastics|Southern Utah Thunderbirds]] were announced to be joining for women's gymnastics from the MPSF. Finally, the [[Northern Illinois Huskies wrestling|Northern Illinois Huskies]] were added for men's wrestling, joining from the MAC.

On October 21, 2010, the Pac-10 announced the creation of divisions and a championship game in football, to be used when [[Colorado Buffaloes|Colorado]] and [[Utah Utes|Utah]] joined the conference effective July 1, 2011. The twelve members were split into two divisions for football only: a North Division comprising the Pacific Northwest and Bay Area schools, and a South Division comprising the [[Mountain Time Zone]] and Los Angeles schools.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pac-10.org/News/tabid/863/Article/214501/historic-decisions-by-chancellors-and-presidents-define-the-future-pac-12-confe.aspx|title=Pac-12|access-date=September 20, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101024104737/http://www.pac-10.org/News/tabid/863/Article/214501/historic-decisions-by-chancellors-and-presidents-define-the-future-pac-12-confe.aspx|archive-date=October 24, 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref>


A nine-game conference schedule was maintained, with five games within the assigned division and four games from the opposite division. The four California teams, noted in the table in gray, still played each other every season— consequently, the four non-California teams in each division will only play one of the two California teams from the opposite division each year.
* [[Colorado State–Wyoming football rivalry|Border War]] – The game between Colorado State and Wyoming awards the Bronze Boot Trophy to the winning athletic department.
* [[Oregon–Oregon State football rivalry|Oregon–Oregon State]] – Though not officially recognized by the universities, the [[Platypus Trophy]] is awarded to the winning alumni association.
* [[I-35 Rivalry]] – The I-35 Series Trophy is awarded to the winning athletic department between Texas State and UTSA.
* [[Beehive Boot|Battle for the Beehive Boot]] – A threeway rivalry between Utah State, BYU, and Utah. Utah State plays in the [[Battle of the Brothers]] against Utah and the [[BYU–Utah State football rivalry|Battle for the Old Wagon Wheel]] against BYU.
* [[Apple Cup]] – Known as the [[Apple Cup]], the winner of the game between Washington and Washington State receives the Apple Cup trophy.


The [[Pac-12 Football Championship Game]] featured the North Division Champion against the South Division Champion for the first 11 years of its existence, with divisional champions determined based on record in all conference games (both divisional and cross-divisional). However, on May 18, 2022, the NCAA Division I Council announced that conferences would no longer be required to maintain divisions in order to hold a conference championship. As a result, later that same day, the Pac-12 announced that it would eliminate its divisions for the 2022 football season and beyond, with the championship game instead featuring the two Pac-12 teams with the highest winning percentage.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/ncaa-football/pac-12-scraps-divisions-2022-college-football-season#:~:text=Divisions%20are%20a%20thing%20of,with%20the%20best%20winning%20percentage |title=Pac-12 scraps divisions starting in the 2022 college football |last=Parks |first=James |date=May 18, 2022 |website=si.com |publisher=Sports Illustrated |access-date=June 8, 2022 }}</ref> It was the first FBS conference to scrap its divisions as a result of this change.

The Pac-12 Conference is a collegiate athletic conference in the Western United States. It participates at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I level for all sports, and its football teams compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the highest level of NCAA football competition. The conference currently has two members, Oregon State University and Washington State University.

The modern Pac-12 Conference formed after the disbanding of the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC), the principal members of which founded the Athletic Association of Western Universities (AAWU) in 1959. The conference previously went by the names Big Five, Big Six, Pacific-8, and Pacific-10. The Pac-12 moniker was adopted in 2011 with the addition of Colorado and Utah.

Nicknamed the "Conference of Champions", the Pac-12 has won more NCAA national championships in team sports than any other conference in history.[1] Washington's national title in women's rowing in 2017 was the 500th NCAA championship won by a Pac-12 school.[2] The Pac-12 holds a 200-plus championship lead over the second-place conference.

On August 2, 2024, 10 of 12 members departed from the conference. The Pac-12 is operating as a two-team conference through the 2025–26 academic year, sponsoring six sports: baseball, football, men's and women's track and field, women's gymnastics, and men's wrestling. In 2026, the Pac-12 will expand to nine members and nineteen sports with the addition of five schools from the Mountain West Conference, one from the Sun Belt Conference, and one from the West Coast Conference.[3][4]

Future members

On September 12, 2024, the conference announced it would be adding four new members, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, and San Diego State, on July 1, 2026.[7] However, the conference needed to add at least two more football-playing members to be recognized by the NCAA as an FBS conference.[8] On September 23, 2024, Utah State accepted an offer to join the league as its seventh member.[3] This gave the Pac-12 the seven members needed to preserve its official "multisport" status,[9] though one more football-sponsoring full member was needed to preserve FBS status.[10] On September 30, 2024, the conference announced that Gonzaga, a non-football college, would be joining as a full member.[11] In June 2025, it was reported that Texas State would announce its move to the Pac-12 on June 30, 2025, the last day before that school's exit fee from the Sun Belt Conference would have doubled from $5 million to $10 million.[12] Texas State's arrival, announced that same day, marked the ninth full-time member for the Pac-12 and also the eighth and final football member required to preserve FBS status.[13]

Membership timeline

The Pac-12 claims the PCC's history as its own. Not only did it maintain the automatic bid from the Rose Bowl inherited from the PCC, but the eight largest schools in the old PCC all eventually joined the new league. However, the old PCC operated under a separate charter.

The Pac-12 is one of the founding members of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF), a conference organized to provide competition in non-revenue Olympic sports. All-Pac-12 members participate in at least one MPSF sport (men's and women's indoor track and field both actually have enough participating Pac-12 schools for the conference to sponsor a championship, but the Pac-12 has opted not to do so). For certain sports, the Pac-12 admits certain schools as associate members.

History

Pacific Coast Conference

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". The roots of the Pac-12 Conference go back to December 2, 1915, when the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) was founded at the Imperial Hotel in Portland, Oregon, during the annual meeting of the Northwest Conference schools.[14][15] Charter members were the University of California (now University of California, Berkeley), University of Washington, University of Oregon, and Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University).[15] An official of Stanford University also attended the meeting but declined to join right away because, unlike the other schools, it was not going to sponsor a football team in the coming year and it was not willing to prohibit freshmen from competing in sports.[15] The PCC began play in 1916.

One year later, Washington State College (now Washington State University) joined the league, followed by Stanford University in 1918.

In 1922, the PCC expanded to eight teams with the admission of USC and Idaho. Montana joined the Conference in 1924, and in 1928, the PCC grew to 10 members with the addition of UCLA.

For many years, the conference split into two divisions for basketball and baseball—a Southern Division comprising the four California schools and a Northern Division comprising the six schools in the Pacific Northwest.

In 1950, Montana departed to join the Mountain States Conference. The PCC continued as a nine-team league through June 1959.

AAWU (Big Five and Big Six)

Following "pay-for-play" scandals at California, USC, UCLA, and Washington, the PCC disbanded in June 1959. Ten months earlier in August 1958, these four schools agreed to form a new conference that would take effect the following summer.[16][17] When the four schools and Stanford began discussions for a new conference in 1959, retired admiral Thomas J. Hamilton interceded and suggested the schools consider creating a national "power conference" (Hamilton had been a key player, head coach, and athletic director at Navy, and was the current athletic director at Pittsburgh). Nicknamed the "Airplane Conference",[18][19][20] the five former PCC schools would have played with other major academically oriented schools, including Army, Navy, Air Force, Notre Dame, Pitt, Penn State, and Syracuse.[18][21] The effort fell through when a Pentagon official vetoed the idea and the service academies backed out.[22]

On July 1, 1959, the new Athletic Association of Western Universities was launched, with California, UCLA, USC, and Washington as the four charter members.[23] Stanford joined during the first month.[17][24] Hamilton left Pittsburgh to become the first commissioner of the AAWU,[23][25] and remained for twelve years.[26] The conference also was popularly known as the Big Five from 1960 to 1962.[27] When Washington State joined in 1962,[28] the conference became informally known as the Big Six.[27][29] The new league inherited the PCC's berth in the Rose Bowl; since 1947, the PCC champion had received an automatic bid to the bowl.

Idaho was never invited to join the AAWU;[30] the Vandals were independent for four years until the formation of the Big Sky Conference in 1963, and were independent in football until 1965.

Pacific-8

Oregon and Oregon State joined in the summer of 1964.[31][32][30] With their addition, the conference was known unofficially as the Pacific Athletic Conference,[33][34][35][36][37] and then the Pacific-8. In 1968, the AAWU formally renamed itself the Pacific-8 Conference, or Pac-8 for short. The Pac-8 did not allow a second bowl team from the conference until the 1975 season;[38] in basketball, participation in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) was not allowed until 1973.[39]

Pacific-10

In 1978, the conference added Arizona and Arizona State from the Western Athletic Conference, becoming the Pacific-10 Conference or Pac-10. The invitations to the schools were extended in December 1976,[40] and the expansion formally announced in May 1977.[41]

In the mid-1980s, three of the northwest schools (Oregon, Oregon State, Washington State) were having financial difficulties in athletics, primarily with revenue from football, and their long-term membership in the conference was in question.[42]

The Pac-10 began sponsoring women's athletics in the fall of 1986.[43][44] Women's teams previously competed with other large universities on the Pacific coast in either the Northern Pacific Conference or the Western Collegiate Athletic Association.[45]

In the mid-1990s, the conference expressed interest in admitting the University of Colorado and the University of Texas after the collapse of the Southwest Conference. Texas expressed an interest in joining a strong academic conference, but joined three fellow Southwest Conference schools (Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and Baylor) to merge with the Big Eight Conference to form the Big 12 Conference in 1996. Colorado elected to remain in the newly formed Big 12.[46]

Before the addition of Colorado and Utah in 2011, only the Ivy League had maintained its membership for a longer time than the Pac-10 among Division I conferences. Commissioner Larry Scott said on February 9, 2010, that the window for expansion was open for the next year as the conference began negotiations for a new television deal. Speaking on a conference call to introduce former Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg as his new deputy, Scott talked about possibly adding new teams to the conference and launching a new television network.[47] Scott, the former head of the Women's Tennis Association, took over the conference in July 2009. In his first eight months on the job, he saw growing interest from the membership over the possibility of adding teams for the first time since Arizona and Arizona State joined the conference in 1978.

"Legacy" Pac-12

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote".

In early June 2010, there were reports that the Pac-10 was considering adding up to six teams to the conference: the University of Texas, Texas A&M University, Texas Tech University, the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, and the University of Colorado.[48]

On June 10, 2010, the University of Colorado Boulder accepted an invitation to join the Pac-10 Conference, effective starting with the 2012–2013 academic year.[49][50] The school later announced it would join the conference a year earlier than previously announced, in the 2011–2012 academic year.

On June 15, 2010, a deal was reached between Texas and the Big 12 Conference to keep Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State in the Big 12. Following Texas' decision, the other Big 12 schools that had been rumored candidates to join the Pac-10 announced they would remain in the Big 12. This deal effectively ended the Pac-10's ambition to potentially become a sixteen-team conference.[51]

On June 17, 2010, the University of Utah accepted an invitation to join the Pac-10 Conference, effective starting July 2011.[49] Utah was a member of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) with Arizona and Arizona State before those two left for the Pac-10 in 1978. The Utes left an expanded WAC with seven other schools in 1999 to form the new Mountain West Conference. Utah became the first "BCS Buster" to join a BCS conference, having played in (and won) two BCS games beforehand.

On July 27, 2010, the conference unveiled a new logo and announced that the Pac-10 would be renamed the Pac-12 when Utah and Colorado formally joined in July 2011. On October 21, the Pac-12 announced that its football competition would be split into two divisions—a North Division comprising the Pacific Northwest and Bay Area schools, and a South Division comprising the Mountain Time Zone and Southern California schools. On July 1, 2011, the Pac-12 assumed its 12-team alignment when both Colorado and Utah officially joined as full members.

On August 15, 2012, the conference debuted the Pac-12 Network. It was the third college sports conference to launch a dedicated network, and the first to completely fund and own their own network outright.

The conference had been based in Walnut Creek since the late 1970s until August 2014.[52] Since 2014, the conference was headquartered in San Francisco, California, with the conference moving to working remotely once the lease expires in June 2023.[53] The Pac-12 Network and meeting space for headquarters employees are now located at Bishop Ranch in San Ramon, an East Bay suburb.[54]

NCAA conference realignment (2021–2023)

Script error: No such module "labelled list hatnote". On August 24, 2021, the Pac-12, ACC, and Big Ten announced the formation of a "historic alliance" that would bring their member institutions "together on a collaborative approach surrounding the future evolution of college athletics and scheduling."[55] The formation of this alliance between three of the Power Five conferences was in response to Oklahoma and Texas announcing plans to leave the Big 12 and join the SEC. The alliance included an inter-conference scheduling component for football and men's and women's basketball. In 2021, the Pac-12 paid $19.8 million to each of its member schools, the lowest distribution in the Power Five.[56]

Despite the alliance, on June 30, 2022, UCLA and USC announced their departure for the Big Ten Conference beginning in the 2024–25 academic year.[57][58] As a result of losing two of the conference's tentpole programs (and the entirety of the Los Angeles television market), the conference's ongoing media rights negotiations became much more complicated. ESPN reportedly had made an offer in which the ten remaining schools would receive around $30 million per year. This was rejected by member schools, who countered with a demand for $50 million per school per year. ESPN responded by walking away from the negotiating table.[59]

Reports began circulating that Commissioner Kliavkoff had been to the San Diego State University and SMU campuses for tours. This was allegedly part of the conference's vetting process for expansion.[60] San Diego State sent the Mountain West Conference a letter notifying it of the school's impending departure. The Pac-12, however, was adamant about securing a media rights deal before expanding. Without an incoming offer before a June 30, 2023, deadline, San Diego State had to rescind its notice of intention to leave the Mountain West.[61]

At the start of Pac-12 Media Days on July 21, 2023, Commissioner Kliavkoff was asked about the status of the media rights deal and conference expansion, deflecting most questions on the matter. Colorado president Rick George left Media Days early to return to Boulder. Less than a week later on July 27, 2023, Colorado announced it would return to the Big 12 as of the 2024–25 school year.[62]

The nine remaining Pac-12 members then demanded an update on the negotiations, including numbers on expected payouts. Kliavkoff came back with a deal from the Apple TV+ streaming service that paid member institutions in the low-to-mid-$20 million range, albeit with escalators for meeting subscriber quotas. On August 4, 2023, Oregon and Washington announced they would be following UCLA and USC to the Big Ten conference for the 2024 season.[63] Later on that same day, Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah announced that they would follow Colorado to the Big 12 Conference starting in 2024.[64] On September 1, 2023, California and Stanford announced their departure for the Atlantic Coast Conference starting in 2024.[65]

In September 2023, Yahoo! Sports reported that the Pac-12 is "expected to operate as a two-member conference at least for [2024–25]"[66] and would be recognized under a two-year grace period, until 2026, to meet conference requirements in the NCAA bylaws.[67]

On September 8, 2023, Oregon State and Washington State filed a lawsuit against the Pac-12 and Commissioner George Kliavkoff in Washington State Superior Court for control of the conference and its assets. They contended that the departing schools, under the conference constitution, forfeited their right to participate in governing the conference by publicly declaring their intention to leave, and that if they retain control they might use it to dissolve the league and drain its millions of dollars in assets.[68] On November 14, 2023, Judge Gary Libey of the Whitman County, Washington, Superior Court ruled in favor of the two schools.[69] The University of Washington (UW) filed an emergency motion to keep the two schools from gaining full control of the conference for the 2023–24 academic year; a Washington Supreme Court commissioner granted UW's motion on November 28, 2023.[70] However, this was overturned on December 15, 2023, by the Washington State Supreme Court, giving Oregon State and Washington State sole control of the Pac-12, meaning the departing schools will no longer be able to vote on conference decisions.[71]

On December 5, 2023, Oregon State and Washington State announced that they had entered into a football alliance with the Mountain West Conference (MW) for the 2024 season. With the alliance, both programs will play three home games and three away games against MW opponents.[72] The West Coast Conference (WCC) has invited both schools to join as affiliate members for basketball and most other non-football sports.[73][74] Both partnerships are expected to last from the fall of 2024 to the spring of 2026. Washington State will also participate in the Mountain West for baseball,[75] but Oregon State, a three-time College World Series champion, will become a baseball independent.[76]

After the ten schools departed, the conference continued using the Pac-12 name and branding for at least the 2024–25 academic year.[77] Oregon State and Washington State were nicknamed the "Pac-2" by media outlets, to the point that a game between the two teams during the 2023 football season was jokingly dubbed the "Pac-2 Championship Game" by fans.[78][79][80]

Conference re-build and expansion (2024–present)

Following the victory in the lawsuit, with sole access to all assets of the conference, Oregon State and Washington State were granted permission by the NCAA to act as a defunct conference for the 2024 and 2025 years while planning its future. If they had failed to meet membership requirements by July 1, 2026, the conference would have been disbanded.

Varsity teams for the two schools joined the West Coast Conference, Mountain West Conference, and Intercollegiate Rowing Association, depending on the sport, under temporary two-year agreements. Despite this, the Pac-12 sponsored six sports (football, men's and women's track and field, women's gymnastics, wrestling, and baseball). These teams functioned as independents and made heavy use of scheduling agreements with other conferences but acted under the Pac-12 banner and used Pac-12 promotional and broadcast material.

On September 12, 2024, it was announced that the conference would add four schools from the Mountain West, led by Boise State, with San Diego State, Fresno State, and Colorado State following. This violated an anti-poaching clause in the scheduling agreement contract between the Pac-12 and Mountain West, requiring an additional exit fee payment to the MWC, but the Pac-12 filed a lawsuit, arguing that the penalties were extreme and violated anti-trust laws.

With the conference now at six members and needing two more to get to the required number for FBS eligibility, the conference reached out to prospective members throughout mid-September, including American Conference members Memphis and Tulane, Mountain West member UNLV, and FBS Independent UConn. During this time, the conference also looked to add a member in Texas, targeting American members UTSA, North Texas, and Rice. It also looked for non-football teams. The West Coast Conference's Gonzaga was the Pac-12 top priority, followed by Saint Mary's and Creighton.

On September 23, 2024, Memphis, Tulane, USF, and UTSA released a joint statement, acknowledging interest by other conferences, but re-affirming their commitment to the American. UNLV also signed a grant of rights with the Mountain West, and so the Pac-12 regrouped, adding Utah State as its seventh conference member. Soon after, Utah State and Colorado State joined the anti-poaching lawsuit against the MWC. Boise State also later joined.

On September 30, 2024, it was announced that Gonzaga would join the conference as its eighth full member, but since Gonzaga does not field football, the conference still needed an eighth football-playing member to retain FBS eligibility.

As the Pac-12 looked to add their final required member, Texas State, due to a host of preferred reasons, was largely been seen as the favorite.[81] New Mexico State, was floated around as a backup emergency option to get to FBS eligibility if talks with Texas State had fallen through. Saint Mary's (non-football) was also mentioned during this time to boost the conference's basketball abilities.

On June 30, 2025, it was announced that Texas State would join the Pac-12 as its ninth full member and eighth football member, cementing the conference's eligibility for the FBS.[82] It was subsequently reported that the conference was also seeking at least one football-only affiliate to allow for an eight-game conference schedule, with Memphis, UTSA, and Rice named as potential candidates.[83] In September of 2025, it was reported that the Pac-12 was unlikely to add another football playing conference member by 2026, with the conference instead looking towards a timeframe of 2027 to add one of the previously discussed American Conference members. For 2026, the conference instead looked to enter a scheduling agreement with a fellow Group of Six conference, largely believed to be Conference USA, to get the same schedule benefits, to help all conference members get an additional game to help fill out their schedules, as most Pac-12 teams at this time had only scheduled 3–4 non-conference games, so combined with a 7-game conference slate, conference members only had 10–11 regular season games scheduled on the books.

In September and October of 2025, the conference acquired multiple affiliate members for specific "Olympic" sports. First, it was announced that the Dallas Baptist Patriots would join as a baseball-only member in 2027, moving from Conference USA.[84] Then, the Southern Utah Thunderbirds were announced to be joining for women's gymnastics from the MPSF. Finally, the Northern Illinois Huskies were added for men's wrestling, joining from the MAC.

Capital One Cup rankings

The Capital One Cup is an annual award given by ESPN. Universities compete against each other by acquiring points throughout the school year based on how each individual sport teams finish in their respective sport. The sports are divided into two separate groups based on the popularity of the sport and the number of teams competing in the sport, with the group B sports group counting for 3 times the amount of points as group A. There are two separate cups for both the men & women. The winning schools receive $200,000 to their student athlete scholarship fund.[116]

Divisions

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". On October 21, 2010, the Pac-10 announced the creation of divisions and a championship game in football, to be used when Colorado and Utah joined the conference effective July 1, 2011. The twelve members were split into two divisions for football only: a North Division comprising the Pacific Northwest and Bay Area schools, and a South Division comprising the Mountain Time Zone and Los Angeles schools.[143]

A nine-game conference schedule was maintained, with five games within the assigned division and four games from the opposite division. The four California teams, noted in the table in gray, still played each other every season— consequently, the four non-California teams in each division will only play one of the two California teams from the opposite division each year.

The Pac-12 Football Championship Game featured the North Division Champion against the South Division Champion for the first 11 years of its existence, with divisional champions determined based on record in all conference games (both divisional and cross-divisional). However, on May 18, 2022, the NCAA Division I Council announced that conferences would no longer be required to maintain divisions in order to hold a conference championship. As a result, later that same day, the Pac-12 announced that it would eliminate its divisions for the 2022 football season and beyond, with the championship game instead featuring the two Pac-12 teams with the highest winning percentage.[144] It was the first FBS conference to scrap its divisions as a result of this change.

National championships, Final Fours, and NCAA tournament appearances

Pac-12 Conference basketball programs have combined to win 15 NCAA men's basketball championships as Pac-12 members, with another member having won a national championship before joining the conference. UCLA has won 11 national championships with Arizona, California, Oregon, Stanford winning one each as Pac-12 members, and Utah winning one national championship as a member of the Mountain States Conference. Eleven of the twelve legacy Pac-12 schools advanced to at least one Final Four before the 2024 mass departure, with Arizona State the only school that had not made an appearance. Future members Gonzaga and San Diego State have also reached the Final Four.

Olympians

A 2017 study by OlympStats counted USA Olympians and the medals they won, sorted by their college affiliations.[149][150] Stanford led all schools with 289 athletes, 408 games, and 282 total medals won. UCLA was second, USC was third, California was fourth.

Leading the country with the most participants in their respective events are: Colorado in alpine skiing and cycling, Arizona State in archery and badminton, Stanford in baseball, rugby, swimming, tennis and water polo, UCLA in basketball, beach volleyball, gymnastics and softball, USC in athletics and volleyball, and Utah in freestyle skiing.

Since 1924, a Pac-12 school has led the country in the number of athletes in every Summer Olympic Games, as of the 2017 study.[150]
