New-Look Pac-12 Returns for First Week of Conference Play
It's a milestone many thought unlikely just three years ago.
The Pac-12 football season kicks off on Saturday evening, marking the return of the 100-year-old league after a major restructuring. The first game, Colorado State against Oregon State, begins at 6 p.m. ET. Later that evening, Boise State takes on Utah State at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Pac-12 also introduced "Pac-12 after Dark," featuring Washington State vs. Fresno State at 9:30 p.m. ET and San Diego State vs. Texas State at 10:30 p.m. ET.
The league's new media rights deal includes CBS Sports as the primary network, with The CW and USA Network joining as partners. The full impact of this new package will be seen in the games broadcast later Saturday.
