HDuck No. 1 Share Posted October 1 SAN RAMON, CA (Oct. 1, 2024) – The Pac-12 Conference and Gonzaga University are proud to announce their partnership, celebrating the addition of the eighth university during this transformative era for the century-old conference. This partnership marks an exciting chapter in expansion history for the conference as it strategically builds a formidable basketball powerhouse. This announcement follows the inclusion of Boise State University, Colorado State University, California State University, Fresno, San Diego State University, and Utah State University, who collectively cement the conference’s geographic foundation while elevating its national presence and strengthening its basketball and football prestige. The Pac-12 Conference received a formal application for membership from Gonzaga University on September 30, 2024. The conference’s Board of Directors and its five new member presidents voted unanimously to approve Gonzaga University, an exemplary higher education institution that educates students for lives of leadership and service for the common good. Featuring an iconic basketball program, the Gonzaga Bulldogs align with the Pac-12’s commitment to excellence in academics and athletics. The Bulldogs will join the conference effective July 1, 2026, with competition beginning for all conference sports sponsored by the university in the 2026-27 academic year.

Pretty big blow to the WCC, and I'm sure Beavis took that into account? Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not football. Unless Zaga suddenly got a football team I didn't know about. So they still need one more football school. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
