Friday was a seismic day in college athletics as the Pac-12 conference lost five schools, bringing the total remaining teams to four starting in 2024.

Oregon and Washington will head to the Big Ten in 2024, while Arizona, Arizona State and Utah will depart the Pac-12 for the Big 12 after the 2023-24 athletic season.

Colorado kicked off the movement at the end of July, announcing a return to the Big 12 following the upcoming academic year.

Deion Sanders, hired as head coach of the Colorado football program in December, weighed in Friday as the landscape of college athletics continued to shift.
