Oregon State athletic director Scott Barnes told The Athletic the best option for the university would be to rebuild the Pac-12 conference.
When the Pac-12 experienced aOregon State,, Stanford and California are all that remain of the once-storied conference as UCLA, USC, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah prepare for their final seasons in the Pac-12.
The future of the conference is very much in the air as rumors swirl that Stanford and Cal could join the ACC. "For us, our priority, again, is keeping the Pac-12," Barnes told The Athletic in a Q&A."We think it’s in the best interest of our student-athletes and our fans to build back the Pac-12. We have inserted ourselves in every conceivable conversation, every feasible conversation at the Power 5 level. And I would say that our best option is rebuilding the Pac-12.
"The great history and tradition of this conference has been severely damaged. The best interest of the student-athlete hasn’t been served. Traveling to the Eastern Seaboard multiple times a year is not in the best interest of student-athletes," Barnes said, according to Oregon Live.
