Pac-12 reportedly has interest in two unexpected schools

As the Pac-12 once again looks to establish itself as a major player in college sports, the conference is reportedly looking to raid another one for two unexpected schools.

Fox Sports Bruce Feldman reported on Saturdays Big Noon Kickoff that the Pac-12 has interest in adding Tulane and Memphis from the AAC, among other schools.

Theres a bunch of other schools that theyre also considering, Feldman said.

Feldman added that while UNLV makes sense as an addition, the Pac-12 would also likely have to take Nevada, which is run by the same school board.

For now, that is acting as something of a deterrent.

He also noted that the Pac-12 will not initially receive an automatic bid to the expanded College Football Playoff, which could make it a less interesting proposition to schools that are in a league that already has that luxury.

The Pac-12 added four new schools this week, but that only brings its number to six.

The league is looking for at least two more additions on top of that and probably more in an ideal scenario.
