The future of the Pac-12 Conference itself as with the tournament after the 2024 tournament is uncertain since the conference will only have two remaining members at the end of the 2023–24 academic year. Both the remaining Pac-12 schools are set to join the West Coast Conference as non-football affiliated members for all sports with the exception of baseball for at least the 2024–25 academic year and beyond.[1]
