After news broke that UCLA and USC would be leaving the Pac-12 Conference to join the Big Ten, other schools have already been in contact with the conference regarding joining. One of those schools is Fresno State.
Terry Tumey, Fresno State’s athletics director, has already had conversations with a high-ranking Pac-12 official regarding the school’s expansion prospects, according to a Fresno Bee article on July 5.
The Bulldogs’ football program is coming off a 10-3 season with a big upset win over No. 13 UCLA, a close contest with Oregon and a New Mexico Bowl victory, which has given them improved consideration for its placement in the Pac-12.
