The Pac-12 may be down to the Pac-2, but that doesn’t mean the league or its remaining members — Oregon State and Washington State — aren’t gearing up for football.
FILE - This Aug. 29, 2019, file photo shows the Pac-12 logo at Sun Devil Stadium during the second half of an NCAA college football game between Arizona State and Kent State in Tempe, Ariz. Media Day for the Pac-12 was unlike any previous gatherings as the conference commissioner and officials and coaches from remaining members Oregon State and Washington State gathered in Las Vegas to talk about the upcoming football season.
“Tonight is a celebration,” Pac-12 commissioner Teresa Gould said. “Tonight is the start of a new chapter.The night included gourmet hors d’oeuvres and an open bar, while Dickert and Oregon State coach Trent Bray took the stage first in a fireside chat setting. “Anybody can be a Trojan, anybody can be a Duck ... it takes a special person to be a Beaver or a Coug,” Leaf said.
“We’re not going anywhere,” Gould said. “These programs have never competed at any other level but the top level. We have always competed at the highest level, that’s never changed. And won at the highest level. I wonder why we’re even having that conversation.” “I think the agreement is great,” Washington State athletic director Anne McCoy said. “I think it’s a really great opportunity for Washington State and Oregon State to have a really competitive West Coast schedule. And I think we’re looking forward to hopefully nailing things down for year two.”
