College football is back. Spring practices are beginning around the country as March begins.
With the return of the CFB, the new Pac-12 is here, and a bunch of teams are trying to make an immediate impact.
As the emergence of “Super Conferences” continues to dominate the sport, the new Pac feels like a throwback.
There are only eight teams, it’s regional, and most of these squads have reasonable NIL markets.
There shouldn’t be too many teenage multi-millionaires in this league.
But how is the Pac-12 handling their scheduling operations for 2026, and what’s this flex week thing?
In this video, I highlight the Pac’s schedule for the upcoming year and what it means for each program.
As always, I appreciate your comments and feedback. I can be reached on X at @WordsByBartlett.
