The Pac-12 was down to Washington State and Oregon State after 10 legacy schools officially departed last August. A month later, the conference accepted Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Utah State from the Mountain West. It then added Gonzaga but was still one all-sports member short.

According to multiple reports, Texas State has received a formal invitation to join the Pac-12. The news was first reported by Michael Adams of the Austin Sports Journal. According to Adams, the Texas State University System Board of Regents scheduled a Monday morning meeting to officially accept the invitation and leave the Sun Belt Conference.

Texas State officials began alerting Sun Belt officials of its formal offer to the Pac-12 and plans to accept, sources told ESPN.
