WELCOME
I WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO THE NEW PAC-12, a Conference that is steeped in tradition and focused on defining the future.
Our vision is rooted in the West Coast, where a pioneering spirit and inno- vation have helped create some of the most significant advancements and leaders the world has ever known.
The institutions of the Pac-12 are centers of excellence that are fueled by an imperishable pursuit of research and discovery. The commitment to comprehensive excellence on our campuses has helped produce monu- mental breakthroughs in medicine, major developments in environmental sustainability and cutting edge technology that have had tremendous influence globally. The students and leaders who have helped shape the Conference for nearly a century continue to impact the world and inspire the next generation to even greater heights.
Expanding for the first time in 33 years, we have great pride and respect for our rich history of academic excellence and superior athletic achieve- ment. It has literally defined us as the "Conference of Champions" and we will continue to uphold the traditions and embrace that broad-based com- mitment to success as we enter a new era in college athletics.
We have established a bold vision for the Pac-12 that will encourage more collaboration between all of our schools and will allow athletics to better serve as a bridge to the overall university mission.
We are very excited about what the future holds for this Conference and are very much looking forward to another dynamic season of high-caliber competition.
Sincerely,
Commissioner Larry Scott
