Pac-12 Conference Faces Extinction as Member Schools Defect to Big Ten and Big 12

The Pac-12 conference is facing potential extinction after losing five member schools to the Big Ten and Big 12 conferences. Oregon and Washington have joined the Big Ten, while Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah have joined the Big 12. The Pac-12, now down to four schools, was unable to secure a media rights agreement to match its competitors. The conference, known for its rich history and numerous championships, expressed disappointment and vowed to secure the best future for its remaining member universities. The super-conference era has arrived in college sports, leaving the Pac-12 in a precarious position.
