The two-member Pac-12 is starting to rebuild, beginning with four Mountain West schools.
Boise State, San Diego State, Colorado State and Fresno State will join the conference in 2026, the Pac-12 announced on Thursday. The schools will officially join on July 1, 2026.
After conference realignment decimated the Pac-12 and left it with just Oregon State and Washington State, the league had few options. NCAA bylaws provide conferences with a two-year grace period to get back to a minimum of eight members.
