The revival of the Pac-12 took another possible step on Monday.

According to several reports, Gonzaga and the conference are in talks about adding the Bulldogs to the Pac-12 as a basketball school, but no final agreement has been made:

The report that Gonzaga will move to the Pac-12 is incorrect, says a source close to the discussions @NBCSports. Both sides have had/are having serious discussions, but at this point the parties have not yet agreed on anything.

The Pac-12 has talked to Gonzaga about joining the conference and while that could lead to an agreement, nothing has been agreed to yet, according to a source.

Sources: Contrary to reports, Gonzaga currently has no agreement to leave the WCC for the Pac-12.

Brett McMurphy Action Network had previously reported that a deal had been finalized and that the Bulldogs would receive “a full share of conference revenue” despite their non-participation in football.

However, the Pac-12 still needs two more football schools to join Oregon State, Washington State, Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State and San Diego State. The conference must have eight football members by 2026 to qualify for a possible automatic entry into the College Football Playoff.

This article will be updated shortly to provide more information and analysis.
