The Pac-12's quest to continue its existence has already included poaching Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State and San Diego State from the Mountain West Conference. Now, it reportedly has its sights set on the American Athletic Conference, too.
According to Chris Vannini of The Athletic, the Pac-12 has identified Memphis and Tulane as its "top targets," though he added that UTSA, North Texas, South Florida and Texas State are the "central-eastern options the Pac-12 is looking into."
Five of the schools mentioned above are in the AAC, with Texas State the lone outsider from the Sun Belt.
