The Pac-12 plans to respond to the exit of the University of Colorado by adding new members.
After completing a long-awaited media rights deal, the Pac-12 will "embrace expansion opportunities," according to a statement made hours after Colorado voted to leave the conference for the Big 12.
"We remain committed to our shared values and to continuing to invest in our student-athletes," the statement read. "Today's decision by the University of Colorado has done nothing to disrupt that commitment."

The Pac-12 is the only Power Five conference without a long-term media rights deal since October, when the Big 12 signed an extension through 2031 with ESPN and Fox.
