Sources: Utah St. accepts invitation to join Pac-12
Utah State has accepted an invitation to join the Pac-12 and become the newly formatted conference's seventh member, sources told ESPN on Monday night.
Utah State accepts an offer to join the Pac-12, becoming member #7. The Aggies join Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State and San Diego State in leaving the Mountain West to join Oregon State and Washington State in the reformed Pac-12.
Air Force appears to be committed to remaining in the Mountain West, while UNLV, who had made a commitment to staying in the Mountain West, did not end up formalizing that agreement. UNLV will likely reopen negotiations with the Pac-12.
Earlier yesterday, the Pac-12 had attempted to lure several members of the AAC, including Memphis, Tulane, South Florida, and Texas-San Antonio....but those schools have since committed to staying in their current league.
