The Pac-12 is ready to begin its rebuild, targeting Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Colorado State of the Mountain West, with those schools applying for membership as soon as this week, two people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday night.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the conference's plans and discussions with possible new members were not being made public.
The Pac-12 is currently a two-school conference, with Oregon State and Washington State the only remaining members after the league was picked apart last year by other power conferences.
