Now, both programs will make substantially less money than Maryland and Northwestern to play in the same conference. Washington has four top-15 finishes in the past seven years, including an 11-2 season with an Alamo Bowl victory in 2022. Oregon has won a College Football Playoff game and played for national championships in 20. Now, Colorado ran back to its old friends in the Big 12 right before the foundation started crumbling in the Pac-12. When it looked like the Big 12 could go under in 2010, Colorado allied itself with the then-safe ground of the Pac-12. The Buffaloes have quietly been one of the headiest programs in realignment over the last 15 years. Here are the winners and losers of the most recent round of realignment, perhaps the most destructive session yet. However, the consequences for every athletic department could be wide-ranging.
Ultimately, all six members that left the conference - eight including USC and UCLA - will make more money in their new homes. Oregon State, Washington State, California and Stanford remain in a holding pattern as Pac-12 leadership attempts to learn what's next. Soon afterwards, the remaining so-called "Four Corners" schools - Arizona, Arizona State and Utah - followed Colorado to the Big 12. The Pac-12 as we know it could be on the verge of collapsing after more than 100 years, and now its members are scattering in what has become the latest reshaping of college football.įollowing the Pac-12's lackluster media rights presentation, Oregon and Washington opted to take partial shares to join the Big Ten. The 2023 summer of realignment surprisingly emerged as one of the most chaotic in recent memory.
