With eight teams set to leave the Pac-12 in 2024, its future in the college sports landscape is in flux with only four teams committed to the conference beyond the 2023-24 academic year. Amid that backdrop, Stanford, Cal, Oregon State and Washington State reportedly have agreed to bring in a big name to help consult on their future.
Oregon sports journalist John Canzano reports the remaining Pac-12 teams have hired Oliver Luck as a consultant to help navigate the situation. Luck has served as a football executive in multiple places, including as the West Virginia athletic director, vice president for regulatory affairs for the NCAA and commissioner and CEO of the XFL.
Luck also has a personal connection with the Pac-12 as his son, Andrew, was a star quarterback for Stanford.
