"We are extremely excited to welcome Texas State as a foundational member of the new Pac-12, commissioner Teresa Gould said Monday in a news release announcing the Bobcats' arrival."
"It's a new day in college sports and the most opportune time to launch a new league that is positioned to succeed in today's landscape with student-athletes in mind."
The Pac-12 announced that Texas State will join the conference as an all-sports member starting July 1, 2026. This decision marks a pivotal moment in the conference's revitalization following significant challenges, including the departure of USC and UCLA three years prior. The addition of Texas State strengthens the Pac-12's footprint in Texas and brings the total to eight all-sports members, fulfilling requirements for the Football Bowl Subdivision. This move follows a new media rights deal with CBS, indicating a strategic direction for the conference's future in college athletics.
