Pac-12 survival: The expansion imperative following Colorado’s departure
The Pac-12 presidents spent a year mulling whether to expand the conference following the announced departures of the Los Angeles schools.Colorado’s presumptive departure to the Big 12 next summer will leave the Pac-12 with nine teams for the 2024 football season. That’s more than enough to meet NCAA and College Football Playoff requirements but creates a plethora of challenges, with the football schedule near the top of the list.
Most schedules are completed years in advance. Available teams from the FCS level assuredly would charge a steep price for their services as a creampuff — more than $500,000 for the three-hour date. Commissioner George Kliavkoff and campus officials are expected to expedite the process once Colorado’s move becomes official .The Aztecs have been under consideration for the past year and only helped their cause with the run to the NCAA championship game.
Competitively, they aren’t at SDSU’s level, with one NCAA Tournament appearance in the past decade and a football program that has lagged in the Mountain West.
