Boise State’s move to the Pac-12 Conference is now official after the Pac-12 and Mountain West Conference announced they have reached a settlement to end their lawsuit. This development comes as college football season is about to begin, with Boise State opening fall practice and expecting to compete at a high level.
Conference Realignment
The settlement allows both conferences to move forward with certainty, focusing on serving their student-athletes, campuses, fans, and communities. Unlike larger conferences like the Big 10 or the SEC, the Pac-12 and Mountain West do not have unlimited financial resources, making the settlement a practical decision to avoid lengthy and costly litigation.
Boise State’s expectations are high, with many experts predicting they will win the only college football playoff spot for the Group of 6. The team will open the season against Oregon at Autzen Stadium, facing one of the few teams favored to win the national title.
