Texas State has received an invitation to join the Pac-12 Conference and is expected to accept following a special meeting set for Monday by the Texas State University Board of Regents.
The news was first reported by Michael Adams of the Austin Sports Journal.
If accepted, Texas State will become the ninth overall member of the Pac-12 Conference and the eight football playing member starting in the 2026-2027 season.
The Pac-12 Conference currently will add Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Gonzaga, San Diego State and Utah State for the 2026-2027 season, joining Oregon State and Washington State.
If Texas State accepts, this will be the university's third conference since making the jump to FBS in 2012. Texas State joined the Western Athletic Conference for the 2012-2013 season before leaving and joining the Sun Belt Conference for the 2013-2014 season where Texas State has been a member ever since.
