The Pac-12 is pivoting west.
Pac-12 leaders are mobilizing in pursuit of more expansion members after a group of American Athletic Conference schools decided to spurn the league’s interest to join. The conference has already received a commitment from Utah State and sent to UNLV an offer to join the league, sources tell Yahoo Sports.
Leaders of the Pac-12, as well as its consulting firm Navigate, met late into Monday night over the potential options for expansion. The league continues to hold conversations with basketball powers Gonzaga and UConn and is evaluating other options, though UNLV remains the top target.
