r/Pac12
ESPN on the new PAC12.
kinda just a recap. But a good media piece obviously thrown out for national consumption.
New Mexico to the Pac 12?
Have seen multiple posts about New Mexico looking for loopholes in the GOR… also with the MWC looking at tiered media payouts to cover for the failed lawsuit… things could start happening soon!
Pac 12 Enterprises - The Under Appreciated Revenue Generator
How much revenue do you think it can generate for the Pac 12? How much is it worth? Can it grow to be a major sports production company? Possible future customers?
Mountain West to receive $69M from Pac-12 settlement, reports say
There's the full amount.
Better type this now before it happens, but Texas State upsets UT week 1
reddit.com[Canzano] "Poaching penalty" lawsuit. 20M total.
Per Canzano
"I’m told by sources that Oregon State and Washington State also paid the MW approximately $10 million each to settle the $55 million ‘poaching penalty’ lawsuit. These figures are similar to the numbers thrown around in early settlement discussions in the summer of 2025."
With CSU adding 4 matchups with UNC in the future, is 2029 one of the best non-conference years a school could have?
Obviously I’m biased in this, but 4 (-ish if you count old WAC and MW teams with BYU) rivalry matchups before getting to conference play is dreamy as hell. A noco matchup with UNC, the border war, and then two P4 opponents that includes the Rocky Mountain Showdown. Additionally it’s very reasonable to be able to attend all of these games as a CSU fan. Balanced and extremely fun. Every non-conference matchup should look like this.
Tom Fornelli- 21 P4 football programs spent less than $20 million on their rosters
The Pac-12 has 5? teams spending over $10 million on their rosters.
18 of the 21 lowest spending P4's are in the ACC and Big12 - so 18 of their 33 combined programs. So most the Pac-12 teams would slot into the Big12 with little problem, where spending is concerned.

idahostatesman.com[Sports Business Journal] Progressive to add field logos across 13 college football programs including Boise State
Progressive is set to announce one of the most significant field logo sponsorship initiatives in college sports history with a deal across 13 schools -- Boise State, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Purdue, SMU, Syracuse, Texas Tech, USC and Wake Forest -- that will see its logo featured on the field at each school. The placement will vary from the sideline to the 50- and 25-yard line.
Anyone else see this? PAC vs MWC
Andrew Pistone of College Sports Wire is reporting that the 5 departed schools will pay the MWC $49 million EACH.
Pretty sure that’s just not accurate.
Good Monday Morning Laugh. RJ Young’e “Ultimate Rankings”. He has 4 Pac-12 teams in the bottom 25 lol
Sportico : Mountain West, 5 Departing Schools Agree to pay $49 million.
sportico.comGoing to Montana VS Oregon State game, what to expect??
Couldn’t find an Oregon State sub so figured this is the best place to post this, going on my honeymoon in Portland and got my wife tickets for a band she likes, so she got me tickets for this game as I’m a CFB head who eats up anything CFB related.
Grew up going to UGA and Georgia Southern games, very familiar with the culture of the SEC and such, but have lived in South Florida for the past decade or so, have gone to a few Miami and FAU games in that time. Loving the smaller schools and teams these days, which is why this sounded so appealing.
What to expect from the experience? Should we go early and walk around campus? Is the stadium on campus? Does OSU have good merch? Any cool things we must do while there? Any good ideas or recommendations would be welcome.
Is there any situation in which Boise doesn’t win every conference game?
Realistically speaking
[Wilner] Bowl games for former, current Pac-12 teams will be messy in 2026
seattletimes.comLittle bit of Pac-12 news from Canzano.
- The Pac-12 announced recently that Olympic sports competitions will be broadcast free on YouTube — for now. Pac-12 Enterprises is said to be developing a free direct-to-consumer product that could be rolled out toward the end of the year.
- The Pac-12 Board Chair was previously Jayathi Murthy, the president at Oregon State. That role has since transitioned to Kelly Damphousse, Texas State’s president.
- The primary directives to Gould from her board? “The two board chairs have been very, very clear with me where they want me to spend my time,” Gould said. “They want me focused on the national landscape and everything happening nationally with government relations and the College Football Playoff — that’s No. 1. And No. 2 is the business side of things. That includes Pac-12 Enterprises, the building of our brand, and revenue. “I have to have the right people around me."

Texas State's president is in a very big position of power for the Pac-12, that's insane to think about.
