Pac-12 Divisions Revealed Along with Other Plans for New-Look League

Filed under: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The blueprint for the Pac-12, which becomes an official entity next July 1, has been rolled out.

Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott revealed a series of significant moves for the expanded conference Thursday, following a morning vote of the conference's CEO group, made up of the presidents and chancellors of the member institutions. Scott said he received unanimous support for the following initiatives:

o. The conference will be split into two divisions for football, the Pac-12 North and the Pac-12 South.

The member schools for the Pac-12 North will be Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford and Cal. The Pac-12 South will consist of USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State and new members Utah and Colorado.

The divisional model preserves all traditional rivalries, and also assures that the California schools will continue to play one another every season. There will be no divisions in basketball or any other sport. In basketball, teams will play an 18-game schedule that will include home-and-home games with traditional rivals, six rotating home-and-home series and single-play games against the remaining four teams.
