The Pac-12 has been re-born.
The conference confirmed Thursday that it has reached agreements with Mountain West Conference programs Boise State, San Diego State, Fresno State and Colorado State to join the revamped Pac-12.
And they could not be done either as according to Pete Nakos of On3, the Pac-12 could “turn its attention to former members Cal and Stanford” after the conference announced the addition of four Mountain West.
“Multiple sources have told On3 it’s a logical move for Cal and Stanford to join the Pac-12 if a window opens to leave the ACC,” Nakos wrote.
Cal and Stanford announced their exit for the ACC last September amid a wave of departures that saw the Pac-12 whittled down to just Washington State and Oregon State.
With Boise State, San Diego State, Colorado State and Fresno State set to join the conference before the 2026 season, the Pac-12 is two programs shy of the eight-school FBS minimum.
