Endowments written in scientific notation
It feels a bit pretentious to have the endowmnets written in scientific notation. They should just be written in normal currency form. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.231.189.174 (talk) 03:38, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

PAC-9
With UCLA, USC, Colorado gone, will a new PAC-9 article replace this now-defunct PAC-12? Hpfeil (talk) 22:12, 28 July 2023 (UTC)


 * No, unless (a) the conference survives and (b) the surviving conference renames itself. Mackensen (talk) 20:26, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

The following paragraph is a mess
The following text is illogical because the August reference should come after the July reference and because the grammar and punctuation are atrocious. (Maybe 2023 sources have made these reports. Maybe not. The comma after the year is not optional. That's a MOS:DATECOMMA violation and it's basic grade-school English.) Someone clearly rushed to dump in the Oregon/Washington stuff in a hurry and didn't think before doing so.

The article is locked, so perhaps an administrator could clean up that paragraph. 1995hoo (talk) 17:51, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Mackensen (talk) 20:33, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Loss of Washington/Oregon
article needs to be updated to mention today's loss of Oregon and Washington. 172.110.56.78 (talk) 21:22, 4 August 2023 (UTC)


 * The lead mentions that it's under discussion. We need to wait until it's official. Mackensen (talk) 21:44, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Big Ten has made it official. Washington and Oregon joining in 2024.

 * ✅. now that the news is confirmed, is it OK if I lower/remove protection? Legoktm (talk) 22:40, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @Legoktm, Of course. It was to stop rumors being added, not real, confirmed news. Courcelles (talk) 22:41, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * In fact, dropped to semi myself. Courcelles (talk) 22:42, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Edit War - Pac-12 Defunct
107.77.199.43, your recent edits appear to be speculation. Do you have reliable sources to support the statement? As a core content policy, original research is not allowed on Wikipedia.

Two days before this dispute, Yahoo! Sports reported that Oregon State and Washington State are "are expected to operate as a two-member conference at least for next year" and are in a legal battle for control of the conference and its assets. Redraiderengineer (talk) 22:41, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

97.114.180.38 and 107.77.198.84, instead of edit warring, please use the talk page to discuss the statement and provide reliable sources. Redraiderengineer (talk) 22:59, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Table coloring
This color coding scheme for which schools are leaving violates WP:ACCESSIBILITY and MOS:COLOR as the information is not conveyed in a color-independent way and the colors themselves are not colorblind friendly. If there are no objections I will replace the coloring with a footnote system. Jasper Deng (talk) 19:40, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

OSU and WSU are leaving for the Mountain West (50/50)
It is a fifty fifty chance that the PAC-12 that may dissolve. and I put brown pots for departing associate member with pink for MWC 71.121.184.15 (talk) 00:27, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Citations are necessary, and speculation is frowned upon. --Spiffy sperry (talk) 01:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * What Spiffy sperry said. If you have reliable sources discussing a strong possibility of the organization dissolving, then that could be mentioned. But you cannot change the article to represent what might happen if it did, that is not for a Wikipedia article to say. ... disco spinster   talk  01:30, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

It's Official
Everyone except Oregon State and Washington State is gone from the Pac-12 website, while sources are saying that everyone else is gone. August 2nd isn't the realignment day. It's today. GamerKiller2347 (talk) 18:11, 1 July 2024 (UTC)


 * They're legally still part of the Pac-12. Just wait another month and they won't be. Cookieo131 (talk) 00:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
