After the WCC announcement and a recent legal victory for Oregon State and Washington State, the Pac-12’s ability to one day be a league of eight-plus teams (as required by the NCAA) is very possible.
What could that look like now that all 12 schools have settled on an agreement that allows OSU and WSU to reconstitute the ‘Pac-X’?
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin looks at how the league could one day rebuild.
The potential timeline could align perfectly with piggybacking on the Mountain West media rights.
The next Pac-12 bowl game is the Las Vegas Bowl this Saturday when Utah takes on Northwestern in Sin City.
Can the Utes do something they haven’t done since 2017? Bryson Barnes will certainly help.
