How the Pac-12 Is Bouncing Back

  • The Pac-12 is adding multiple schools from the Mountain West.
  • The move will be quite expensive, as reporter Amanda Christovich explains.

The Pac-12 is adding four teams, and it seems likely to survive conference realignment as an FBS school. Front Office Sports reporter Amanda Christovich provides the latest on what’s happening and what it means for college football.

Plus, we hear about what it’s like to start a sports league with Premier Lacrosse League CEO Paul Rabil, and we get a live report from the Solheim Cup.

Also, not all is well with the A’s and White Sox, and superstar players encourage fans to vote.
