For the Pac-12, the hits just keep coming.

On Thursday, the University of Colorado announced it would ditch the Pac-12 for the Big 12 in 2024. One Colorado regent said she wished the Pac-12 well, “whatever it is in the future.”

As long as it exists, the Pac-12 will maintain its voting power as an NCAA “autonomy” conference. But it’s looking less and less like a Power 5 by the day

The Pac-12 has now lost three big football brands. It has no media rights deal after more than 11 months of negotiations. There’s no signed grant of rights — the contract that would keep the schools together.
