Pac-12 returns to the football field with 8 teams following years of uncertainty
The rebuilt league adds six programs and a new television deal as it tries to improve College Football Playoff access and national visibility.
- On Thursday, the Pac-12 officially rebooted with eight teams, adding Boise State, Colorado State, San Diego State, Utah State, Texas State, and Fresno State to holdovers Oregon State and Washington State.
- A new television deal ensures every game airs on linear TV, allowing the entire country to watch "Pac-12 After Dark" instead of searching multiple platforms for matchups.
- To strengthen College Football Playoff chances, the Pac-12 will utilize "flex" games the final week of the regular season, with select schools hosting to ensure every team has four conference home games.
- Boise State enters its first season in the Pac-12 as the title favorite, returning quarterback Maddux Madsen, who threw for 2,334 yards and 18 touchdowns last season.
- As the conference seeks to regain stability, three new coaches arrive, including Colorado State head coach Jim Mora and Oregon State head coach JaMarcus Shephard, after two seasons of significant turnover.
