who is left in the pac 12

Right now (through the 2025–26 school year), the only actual competing Pac‑12 members are Oregon State and Washington State.

Who is left in the Pac‑12 right now?

As of the current setup, the Pac‑12 has effectively shrunk down to:

  • Oregon State.
  • Washington State.

They are operating under an NCAA “grace period” as they rebuild the conference and line up new members for the future.

Who is (already) lined up to join?

The rebuilt “new Pac‑12” is set to launch for the 2026–27 academic year with a larger lineup centered around schools from the Mountain West and Texas State.

These are the committed future members:

  • Boise State.
  • Colorado State.
  • Fresno State.
  • San Diego State.
  • Utah State.
  • Texas State (joining 2026–27).
  • Gonzaga (non‑football, basketball power).

Together with Oregon State and Washington State, that gives the new Pac‑12 nine full members across all sports, eight of which play FBS football.

Quick timeline context

  • 2023: Traditional Pac‑12 essentially breaks apart as most schools leave for Big Ten, Big 12, ACC.
  • 2024–25: Oregon State and Washington State operate the legal shell of the Pac‑12 while planning a rebuild.
  • 2026–27: New Pac‑12 officially relaunches with the schools listed above, giving it enough football members to meet FBS requirements and a strong basketball profile with Gonzaga.

In forum terms: if you’re asking “who is left in the Pac‑12 right now?”, it’s just Oregon State and Washington State, with a whole wave of Mountain West/Texas State/Gonzaga reinforcements queued up for 2026.
