The talks between Texas State and the Pac-12 have intensified in the last 24 hours, per ESPN sources, although a formal offer from the Pac-12 to Texas State has yet to be delivered. A formal offer is anticipated in the near future, per sources, as Texas State is in talks to join the league for the 2026-27 school year. The Pac-12's football membership for 2026 consists of Oregon State, Washington State, Boise State, San Diego State, Colorado State, Utah State and Fresno State. Texas State is a school of 40,000 students that gives the Pac-12 a presence in the football-rich state of Texas. Texas State held a verbal offer in the fall to join the Mountain West but ultimately turned that down.
