ASU’s move from the Pac-12 to the Big 12 — along with the University of Arizona, Colorado and Utah — was announced in August 2023, but it became real when the conference’s 16 teams gathered for the two-day media extravaganza at the home of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders.
“It’s an exciting new world,” said ASU Athletic Director Graham Rossini. “The Pac-12 is always going to be a part of our legacy. We’re going to honor our roots, but we have to be focused on what’s coming next. There’s a lot in front of us, a lot of opportunity for us to take advantage of. So we’re just eyes forward on the Big 12.”
