Canzano: Sorting out Pac-12 expansion
Conference preparing to take the next bite.
The Pac-12 Conference athletic directors gathered for a morning meeting on the conference level at Park MGM Las Vegas early last week. The event lasted a few hours. The university presidents joined for a second meeting later that afternoon.
Several of the presidents appeared in person, per sources. Others participated via Zoom. The decision-makers of the new-world Pac-12 received updates on the conference’s media rights negotiations and discussed expansion, among other topics.
What’s the Pac-12’s expansion move?
Adding UNLV? Or maybe wooing Memphis? Texas State and/or Tulane? South Florida? How about UTSA, Rice, Nevada, or North Texas?
Said one campus source: “If someone emerges outside that list, it would be a surprise.”
