Line 161:
After initially being blocked from admission, three of the four remaining schools eventually joined ([[Washington State University|Washington State]] in 1962, [[University of Oregon|Oregon]] and [[Oregon State University|Oregon State]] in 1964), but members were not required to play other members. Tensions were high between UCLA and Stanford, as Stanford had voted for UCLA's expulsion from the PCC.
[[University of Idaho|Idaho]] was not involved in the scandals but had become noncompetitive in the PCC. Unlike Washington State, Oregon, and Oregon State, Idaho did not pursue AAWU admission, and competed as an independent before becoming a charter member of the [[Big Sky Conference]] in
The AAWU eventually strengthened its bonds and added members, renaming itself the Pacific-8 Conference (Pac-8) in 1968. By 1971, most Pac-8 schools played round-robin conference football schedules, and the two Oregon schools were again playing USC and UCLA on a regular basis. The conference added [[Western Athletic Conference|WAC]] powers [[University of Arizona|Arizona]] and [[Arizona State University|Arizona State]] in [[1978 NCAA Division I-A football season|1978]] and became the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10). On [[2010–2014 NCAA conference realignment#Pac-10|July 1, 2011]], the conference added [[University of Colorado Boulder|Colorado]] from the [[Big 12 Conference|Big 12]] and [[University of Utah|Utah]] from the [[Mountain West Conference|Mountain West]] (also a former WAC member) and became the [[Pac-12 Conference|Pac-12]]. The Pac-12 claims the PCC's history as its own, though it operates under a separate charter.
