Canzano: Is there another move out there for the Pac-12?
Key Points:
- Teresa Gould’s father, Bill, transitioned from farming to agricultural lending, dedicating his career to supporting farmers and ranchers despite the stress involved.
- Bill cherished a Father’s Day mug from Teresa, symbolizing their strong bond despite distance, which Teresa reclaimed after his death in 2018.
- Teresa Gould played a key role in revitalizing the Pac-12 conference by recruiting new members, securing media deals, and managing legal and staffing challenges.
- The reconstituted Pac-12 now includes nine full-time members, eight football-playing schools, and several affiliates, with speculation about adding a ninth football-playing member.
- Potential candidates for the additional full-time or football-playing member include UNLV and UConn, though no final decision has been announced.
