The implosion of the Pac-12, which occurred last summer, finally came into effect on Monday as a new academic year commenced. The 10 departing schools have become members of their new conferences, leaving just two universities behind.
The quartet of USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington have completed their move to the Big Ten while Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah have transitioned to the Big 12. Stanford and Cal have joined the Atlantic Coast Conference, leaving Oregon State and Washington State as the only members left in the conference.
The future of the Pac-12 remains uncertain in the world of collegiate athletics despite the intention of Oregon State and Washington State to rebuild the league. The conference has a grace of two years from the NCAA to meet membership requirements or fade off.
Following the completed exit of 10 schools from the Pac-12, the world of college sports hasn’t stopped reacting. While many reflect on the memories of the conference, others take their time to make trolls about the league’s collapse with hilarious memes.
Here’s a look at the top memes online regarding the current situation of the Pac-12.
