Texas State’s Shocking Exit from Sun Belt Sends Shockwaves Through College Football Landscape
This move, part of a broader NCAA conference shakeup, would take effect in the 2026–27 academic year, marking the Bobcats’ third conference since transitioning to the FBS level in 2012. It also solidifies Pac-12 expansion plans, as the conference rebuilds after a series of high-profile exits in recent years.
For the Pac-12, the addition of Texas State offers critical benefits. The Bobcats would be the eighth football-playing member, allowing the league to maintain its FBS status. Just as importantly, the move plants the Pac-12 flag in the football-rich state of Texas—a strategic expansion for recruiting and media reach.
