The Pac-12 is still one member short of the NCAA minimum but those committed to joining will be footing a pretty hefty bill.

Later Monday, McMurphy reported that Gonzaga is leaving the West Coast Conference to join the Pac-12. Dellenger reported that the Pac-12 has been in “serious discussion” with Gonzaga but that a move is not finalized, and ESPN’s Kyle Bonagura and The Athletic’s Chris Vannini reported similarly.

A wild day on the conference realignment front culminated in Utah State University reportedly accepting an invite to join the Pac-12 Conference. As can be imagined, there was plenty of strong reaction to the news on social media.
