The Pac-12’s agreement with CBS on a five-year partnership has implications for multiple sports and conferences.

Since last fall, when the Pac-12 secured the additions of Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Utah State from the Mountain West, plus Gonzaga from the West Coast Conference, the Pac-12 has adopted a blank-slate view of all major decisions.

The revamped Pac-12 has seven football members for 2026 and needs an eighth as it finalizes its TV deals, including one with CBS.
