Canzano: MWC kicks tires on Pac-12 front
Add Oregon State and WSU? Merge? Dissolve and reform?
Is there an appetite within the Mountain West Conference to become the “Pac-12” in name? Or is the mission just to add Oregon State and Washington State?
Something more ambitious?
Said one MWC athletic director: “It’s all on the table.”
The Beavers and Cougars continue to weigh a limited series of options for the 2024 football season. They’re waiting to see what happens with Cal and Stanford. As they’re doing so presidents, ADs and league administrators in the MWC are kicking the tires on the Pac-12’s brand.
“It’s like buying a house,” said an involved party, “need to get an expert to appraise it and tell what’s good and what’s broke.”
