Canzano: Pac-12 remains in a Texas State of mind

Pac-12 expansion will likely be only one all-sports school.

Retired Sun Belt Conference Commissioner Karl Benson called me on Thursday morning as he was about to tee off for his third round of golf this week.

Benson, who also served as WAC commissioner, wanted to talk about this ‘Texas State to the Pac-12’ business. The guy spoke from experience, too, as he once added the Bobcats to both of his conferences.

“I can tell you exactly what the Pac-12 is going to say if they add them,” Benson told me. “They’re going to say that Texas State has the potential to be the next Boise State. I said the same thing when I added them to the WAC and again when I added them to the Sun Belt.

“It never happened — but maybe this is the time.”
