Summary
Colorado State officially entered the rebuilt Pac-12 on July 1 alongside six other newcomers, launching the conference with Oregon State and Washington State.
657 days after announcing its move in September 2024, CSU said the Pac-12 era will begin competitively in mid-August with soccer, followed by volleyball's first conference match on Sept. 24.
146 wins across football, volleyball and men's and women's basketball since that 2024 announcement helped bolster CSU's case, with the Rams also among just two FBS programs to make a bowl and win conference titles in all three court sports.
$1.6 million from CSU's May Day of Giving and record football and volleyball attendance underscored fan support as the school enters a Pac-12 revived after realignment nearly wiped out the league.
