Pac-12 prepares for new teams as fan opinions vary

Summary

The Pac-12 conference is set to welcome several new teams this summer, including Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State, Texas State, and Gonzaga. The upcoming season raises questions about the conference’s status, particularly whether it will be considered a mid-major with the inclusion of these teams. Gonzaga, known for its strong basketball program, is expected to maintain its reputation, though other newcomers like Texas State have limited NCAA Tournament experience. Fan surveys are being conducted to gauge opinions on the conference's evolution amid ongoing realignment discussions.
