Later Monday, McMurphy reported that Gonzaga is leaving the West Coast Conference to join the Pac-12. Dellenger reported that the Pac-12 has been in “serious discussion” with Gonzaga but that a move is not finalized, and ESPN’s Kyle Bonagura and The Athletic’s Chris Vannini reported similarly.

Jim Meehan, who covers Gonzaga for the Spokane (Wash.) Spokesman Review, took it a step further. He quoted Bulldogs AD Chris Standiford directly saying “That is not accurate reporting,” in response to McMurphy’s report.

Gonzaga athletic director Chris Standiford didn’t mince words in disputing a report on X that the Zags were leaving the West Coast Conference for the Pac-12. “That is not accurate reporting,” Standiford said.

The Pac-12 reportedly has its next newest member with the partial addition of the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Per Brett McMurphy, Gonzaga is departing the West Coast Conference in order to join the Pac-12.
