Pac 12?

The Pacific Athletic Conference last expanded from the PAC 8 to PAC 10 with adding Arizona and Arizona State in 1978. Originally the conference was known as the Big 5 and then Big 6.


It is not an “if” at this point, but a when expansion will happen. As Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott is looking to expand increase revenue with a Conference Championship game and a bigger TV deal.

Look for the Pac 10 to announce expansion plans with two new teams in the next 6 to 12 months. As far as who is on the Radar, don't be surprised if they Raid the Mountain West Conference and add BYU and Utah. Both have history in Basketball and Football on a national level. Also in consideration would be Fresno State and San Diego State.
