The PAC-12 is OFFICIALLY DEAD 😢❌ 

What're your thoughts on the official end of the Pac-12?

the love of money is the root of all evil

The Pac 12 will still live on in my NCAA 14 dynasties. Because you can't delete conferences.

Anyone else watching this after Arizona State and Utah just applied for the big 12? Edit: 7:33 CST and they just got admitted. RIP Pac-12

That’s so sad😢 I was thinking this conference was going to be very solid this year and even after UCLA and USC left. Even though I’m a florida man, the PAC-12 is my favorite conference. RIP the PAC-12, it had all of my favorite teams😭 At least relegation isn’t a thing, because that’s a horrible idea for so many reasons.

RIP Big East. You were a shadow of things to come.

Grew up watching the Pac-10 as a kid and got to see a Pac-12 championship game in 2013. It will be sorely missed. I hope Larry Scott loses a pair of socks every time he does laundry.

The B1G should add Stanford and Cal and cap it at 20 teams. Have divisions called the Big 10 and the Pac 10 and hold the championship game in the Rose Bowl

It's a very sad day for college football. Tradition be dammed. It did not need to happen this way. We not only loved college fooball, we love our teams and we love our conferences as well.

Shit imploded faster than the Deathstar lmao 🤣

It DOES suck when nothing is the main motivator and nobody cares about history or rivalries . . .

These conference realignments is all about the money. Why fix something that is not even broken to begin with? I won't be watching college football ever again when the regular season ends next month.

College football isn’t college football anymore.

I'm seeing the Mountain Pacific Conference will be a thing. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Money and Greed by the schools have destroyed College Football.

He said a month from now, it’s been TwO DAaaaaaayyyssss 😂😂😂😂

I think the big 12 has more of a chance to collapse before the acc does. What I think is pac 12 falls like it did, then the big 12, then the acc will split and you’ll have the sec and big 10 being the only 2 left.

It's a sad day here on the West Coast. More than 100 years of collegiate athletic tradition and pride here on the West Coast is dead. Thanks to inept leadership, cowards, and fair weather investment. I only hope that someday a new west coast league forms in its ashes.

Imagine if the PAC 12 Conference did it Right in 2011 get Oklahoma, Texas, Oklahoma State University, Texas Christian University, Texas Tech, Baylor, Houston, BYU , super conference would have gain the state of Texas.

I like the Buffs in the BIG 12

And Utah and Arizona state applied to the big 12. Pac 12 is on its last legs. It’s merge with mountain west or nothing at this point.

College ball should be about fighting for school pride! NIL, transfer portal, this conference fiasco, and the like are ruining what makes college ball great!

This is good for the following groups 1. B1G conference and university execs .2. Media execs of companies with B1G contracts. 3. Existing B1G fans with connections to the west coast who would look forward to regular 2-3 timezone cross-country trips. This sucks for the following groups: 1. EVERYBODY ELSE The PAC-12 is dead; long live (in Bill Walton voice) The Conference of Champions.

Conferences with 20 teams doesn't make sense: Big Ten could be called a league by now.

PAC-12 dying out is the least surprising thing ever. The interest in the conference has gone so far downhill

Aside from the money, the pac was over once USC announced it was over.

Good thing San Diego State's decision to join the the PAC-12 fell through. Honestly, they dodged a bullet as they would've been jumping aboard a sinking ship! Don't think OSU and WSU will join the MW Conference. Why would they want to go from a P5 conference to a G5 conference? They'd go to the ACC before they'd join the MW, unfortunately. And as a member of the MW, a G5 conference, San Diego State University will, sadly, never rise to the P5 level barring an invite to the Big XII. 😞

ncaa should step in and prevent these mergers. Allowing the sec ands big10 to become super-conferences is bad for the league. besides that, its just foul to end decades of tradition over a tv revenue deal.

Hello, PAC12, you get to meet the Big East, and WAC, I’m sure they’ll all get along.

Osu was on the rise a 10 win season and a new stadium guess we will do good in the mountain west

Big 12 has become the basketball mega confrence with the new edition of arizona

If George Kliavkoff had actually done his job as a Commissioner, and he didn't spend most of his time tampering and rigging games (especially CU games), then maybe we'd have had a decent media deal and the Pac12 wouldn't be basically dead. Kliavkoff killed the conference. Almost all the blame deserves to be on him.

Money is destroying college football’s tradition as we speak

if they scrap the Civil War game between the Oregon schools i will be really sad.

Worst thing to evee happen to college football was the death of SMU football.

And yet there are still people thinking that paying the players is wrong.

Praying cal makes it to the big 10

This all started with Texas & Oklahoma😂😂now all of a sudden everyone wants to move around

LONG LIVE THE PAC-12

I think the pac 12 should stay the way they are because pac 12 teams are used to playing the lat night games

College football is slowly dying

College football isn’t dead, stop being overreactinonary. People were probably saying this 30 years ago when the Southwest Conference collapsed or when Penn State joined the Big Ten

I was just thinking about the non power five what do they do now

I’m a Michigan fan and I hate this. Money ruins everything. Aren’t you all happy the playoff expanded to 🙄 how many suckers think that is going to go well.

The pac 12's lack of foresight and poor decision making probably just saved the ACC.

Pac 12 deserves it

It’s really easy for all the fans from Big12, Big10, and Pac12 teams that benefit from this to not have an issue with the realignment. But as an Oregon St alumni and fan, I am beyond frustrated with this situation. It’s hard to see nearly every other team benefit from this except for us. We have been a competitive football team the last couple of years. Now I get to watch every other program succeed while we go downhill after just getting our footing into the ground. Oregon State winning the Pac12 this year would just be the cherry on top

I really don’t like where college football is heading, it really worries me!

Division 1 College football has become a $ game. Time to go down a division or 2 where real football is played

College football is ruined

Facing weekly departures this summer, the PAC-12 athletic conference is looking to shore up its ranks by inviting the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, End of the Bench has learned. Hogwarts, which resides in another realm accessible only by walking into a wall at a certain train station, is considered a Quidditch powerhouse, winning the interstellar multiverse Quidditch championship a record 7 times. Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore is thrilled to be joining the PAC-12. “This is the opportunity of a lifetime for Hogwarts to make the leap to big-time Division 1 college athletics,” said Dumbledore. “We’d be fools not to jump at it.” While Hogwarts is widely known for its excellence in Quidditch, Dumbledore said the school has sunk a lot of money into football and basketball and is ready to compete with the four remaining teams - Cal, Stanford, Oregon State, and Washington State. “Let’s face it, the four teams that are left all suck,” said Dumbledore. “With our mastery of witchcraft and wizardry, we’ll be dominating that conference in no time.” The PAC-12 expressly forbids the use of witchcraft and wizardry, as well as the Force and Vulcan mind control, in all athletic pursuits. But as Dumbledore points out, their magic is so subtle and powerful that the other team won’t even know it was used on them. “It’s like when Hermoine cast that Confundus charm on Cormac McLaggen to confuse him and cause him to screw up when he tried out for Keeper for Gryffindor,” Dumbledore said. “We plan to use that and other spells to keep our PAC-12 opponents off balance.”

The Pac 12 leaders were not doing their job. Period.

The PAC 12 championship game this season will be the last ever PAC 12 championship game. I’ll have to see it just to see the end of an era. I’m sure there’ll be tons of conversations about it during that game

Arizona, Arizona State and Utah filed for Big 12 membership

Your comments concentrated on teams leaving. What you ignored was all of the leadership piss poor decisions that led up to the leaving. That goes back a long way. Not just the commissioner also the presidents and chancellors. Their bad decisions all came down to one thing - Liberal Politics. The refuse to bring in any new schools that had a religious affiliation in their school name… TCU is an example. They also showed that academics were the only thing that was important to them. Cal for example might not even know they have an athletic department. The stadium was always half empty. They should have just dropped sport and be academics only. The only thing that never changes is (wait for it) change. The kids growing up today will always consider these to be The Good Ole Days.

I think the motives for conference realignment in 2004-2005 were a lot different than the motives in 2022-24.

I remember when ou was in talks with going to the pac 12 and Texas…. Oh how things have changed 😔

The B1G is kinda unique bc they will have games on for like 12+ hours, from Noon and ending at like 1am assuming they let the west coast schools play at 7:30 local time which would be 10:30 ET

Utah is gonna dominate the big 12 for a few decades.. There’s not a single team that’ll be on utahs level.. I feel like utah should’ve gone to the SEC or big 10.. Why wouldn’t you want the back to back pac 12 champs…

They asked for 50,000,000 for each school like they are better than the Big 12😂 I love it because everyone said this was gonna be the Big 12

Welcome to what money has done to college football. This isn't a socialist take hating on capitalism. It's just what greed does. The father's of market capitalism weren't driven by the idea of making maximum money. It was about maximum freedom of the individual. They also believed in doing business in a moral way. As morality has been wrung out of business, it has wrung all monetary value out of every thing it touches and everyone it touches, including college football and it's fans. It's really sad.

I HATE IT! The shear logistics of it does not make sense to me. In the southeast most of the teams are within arms reach, the others not much farther, but USC & UCLA may as well be in Hawaii. Did I mention that I hate it. I'm old I saw Mike Garrett come from L.A. Roosevelt High School In ELA and play for USC, I remember O.J. when he played for SC, and loved coach John MaKay and John Robinson. So YES I hate it.

These teams jumping conferences is going to ruin college football 🏈 there is no commitment anymore. It’s all about greed

Its pro football. I say eliminate need to be enrolled in the school and stop four-year eligibility and let these guys play as long as they want.

Oregon and Washington in the BIG 10 ?? I don’t think so , doesn’t match at all… They’re going to play Penn State Ohio State Nebraska ??? Some of They’re fans are almost like from different countries . They don’t match that conference whatsoever . Money is destroying the culture of college football . Makes ZERO Sense

So sad. Student athletes are just going to head wherever the money is now. And it’s gonna turn into an NFL farm system.

Hey Blake, long time no see. I'm just as disappointed as you man, fortunately both your teams found new homes in the Power 4, I cant imagine what ORSU and Wazzu fans are thinking right now. California and Stanford are on a thin thread as its B1G or bust and i dont think theyll make it

Utes in the big 12 is so dumb, we were back to back champs why were 4 teams taken to the big 10 and not us

at this point who's gonna win the big 10 you now have Ohio State, Mich. USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon. Your not even accounting for Penn state or Mich. State and we want to add Norte Dame and Florida State.

The Pac 4. LOL.

Love the vid Harris, I agree that this is the worst thing that’s ever happened to CFB, I hope the remaining 4 get scooped up, they deserve to carry on, and we’ll all have to adjust to new football

Man, things really unraveled when George Kliavkoff unveiled the Apple deal. Worst part about the PAC12 dying is that the teams were finally getting competitive. Too Little, too late I guess.

Rip pac 12

The PAC 12’s demise happened long before the Big 10 took away USC and UCLA. The conference started to spend less on the biggest money sport in football and therefore became way less competitive than the SEC and Big 10 over time. In the end we will be left with an NFL G League essentially with two super conferences in the SEC and Big 10 and everyone else not in those two will have to drop to a lower division

I thought the big 12 was going to die first, after losing all the best schools

College football has always been the minor leagues of pro football. Officially being named the minor league of the NFL changes nothing.

Big 10 should definitely capitalize. Picking up USC UCLA, now UW and Oregon. i think they should drop Rutgers and Northwestern if possible and look to Clemson/FSU. Miami/UNC/Duke/GT are also valuable.

College of champions………

I guess the Rose Bowl is gone also.

Pac 12 should get San Diego state, Fresno state, UTSA, temple, app state, Boise state , costal Carolina and Memphis. Maybe USF Edit Tulane and Liberty

Well we kinda knew it was coming sooner or later 😔😔😔😔

College football has always been a minor league. Are people just not getting that?

Bring back the WAC

Stanford and Cal should try to join the Big Ten too. I guess Oregon St. and Washington St. will have to join a mid major conference.

Smoking that Pac pack 🚬🚬

Already happened. Try to keep up.

Goes to show 😂 nobody want to be with way left liberal schools😂😂

As a BYU fan im both disapointed and excited to see utah with us in the Big 12. Im grateful BYU got a good hand in all this madness but I do feel bad for many of the fans out there who got totally screwed over by this madness.

PAC 12 should become PAC 10 again, and be split into two 5 team divisions of Boise State, CAL, OSU, Washington State and Stanford in the “north” with Nevada, UNLV, New Mexico, San Diego State and Colorado State in the “south”. That leaves the MWC with 5 teams, which they can make Hawaii a full member and have a 6 team conference.

Arizona, Arizona State and Utah are next to leave

Also I have been a fan since it was the Pac 8 and will still be a beaver fan . It's going to become 3 conferences east,central and West and teams will have to travel across the entire country to play a "conference " game!??!

They can make these super conferences but then what? All the top teams cancel each other out?

Thanks ESPN

NCAA media and higher ups never respected Pac12 anyways

It's been awhile since I paid any attention to college sports, but it just feels entirely wrong a historic conference like Pac 12 could just vanish this quickly. I get that money and some bad decisions by the Pac 12 commissioners are behind it, but it's still sad to see. Whether fans like it or not, money is going to coalesce in the super conferences, which are essentially the NFL"s farm systems. And maybe it's just best to know which schools actually put the student part first in student-athlete. I grew up watching WAC games, then Mountain West, so I've never really watched the elite programs (Colorado State fan here, and they are definitely not elite). But at the same time, the games I went to were often quite fun and totally worth spending Saturday afternoons at the stadiums, or occasionally doing a road trip. College football is going to undergo a lot of changes this decade, that's for sure.

All they have to do is expand with UCLA, USC, Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Washington and Oregon, you add UNLV, Nevada WolfPack, Fresno State, San Jose State, San Diego State, UC Davis Aggies, Colorado State, Boise State, and SMU. etc. many options to still keep it the PAC12 at least from what I see.

Such a sad feeling.

Is this just for football or all their sports?

Welcome to the Big 4 era aka the 2nd College Football Association era. Power 5 is dead.

Lots of issues in Oregon. Over half of Oregon wants to join Idaho then Oregon has been begging for admission to the Big Ten.
