Pac-12 Expands with Four New Teams to Rebuild After Exodus

The Pac-12, which has been reeling from the loss of several marquee programs, has officially announced the addition of four new teams as part of its expansion efforts. Boise State, San Diego State, SMU, and Fresno State are set to join the conference, marking a new era for the Pac-12. This expansion comes after years of instability and the recent departures of powerhouses like USC and UCLA to the Big Ten, which left the Pac-12 struggling to maintain its competitive edge and national relevance.

For the Pac-12, this expansion is not just about adding numbers but about finding programs that bring value both on and off the field. Boise State, in particular, has a strong football tradition and has been a consistent performer on the national stage. San Diego State brings a growing program and access to the Southern California media market, while SMU provides the Pac-12 with a foothold in the Texas recruiting landscape. Fresno State has also been a competitive program in the Mountain West, and their inclusion solidifies the Pac-12's presence on the West Coast.
