The other big story this week focuses on the continuing rollout of the Pac-12 Conference. The league officially launched on July 1 with nine full members: Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Gonzaga, Oregon State, San Diego State, Texas State, Utah State, and Washington State. Did Teresa Gould and company make as big of a splash as they could have?
Staying with the theme of the Pac-12, Matt also takes a look at the players expected to make the biggest splash in the league this season for Oregon State, as well as their new conference mates. We also present questions for each Pac-12 member program at the dawn of a new era. Go Beavs.
Editor's Note: Obviously, we would not be able to do a listener Q&A episode without listeners. Thank you for helping this show grow over the last few years!
