While the Pac-12 may be the conference that put softball on the map, Oklahoma and the Big 12 have dominated the sport for several years. The Big 12 will welcome Arizona and its eight national titles for the 2025 season, but Oklahoma will take Texas and join the ESPN-approved SEC. What will the rest of the conference look like without the Sooners and the Longhorns?
For one, it will gain 10 NCAA titles with the addition of Arizona’s eight championships and Arizona State’s two. It will gain competitors from the last four Women’s College World Series (Arizona in 2019, 2021, and 2022; Utah in 2023).
