The Pac-12 Meets Its Demise

  • Oregon and Washington left the conference for the Big Ten, while Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah are heading to the Big 12.
  • The Pac-12 is dead.
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Over the past week, six Pac-12 schools announced their intentions to leave the conference — leaving it bereft of universities and facing its end. Reporter Amanda Christovich joins FOS Today to explain how we got this point, as well as what this means for the remaining four schools in the Pac-12 and college sports as a whole.

Plus, we have an interview with Andrea Pagnanelli, CEO of the National Cycling League. The League is in the midst of experimenting with the structure of cycling races in an attempt to turn them into a spectator sport.
