After more than 100 years, it's the end of an era in college sports.

The Pac-12 was formed in 1915 as the Pacific Coast Conference, eventually becoming the Athletic Association of Western Universities, Pac-8, Pac-10, and now, what we know it as.

But, after 10 of the conference's dozen schools are set to bolt for other leagues, it is no more.

The conference will continue as a two-team conference beginning in the 2024-25 academic year, with just Oregon State and Washington State left standing.

Well, the conference that we have grown accustomed to had, for all intents and purposes, its final contest on Saturday night – fittingly, it ended in wild fashion.

It was the conference's baseball championship between USC and Arizona, which the Wildcats won on a walk-off single in the ninth.

"One last Pac-12 after dark – that's how the Pac-12 comes to a conclusion," conference network announcer Roxy Bernstein said on the call.

After the game, Bernstein took time to "put a bow" on the conference, and share what the conference has meant to not just him, but sports fans in general on the Pac-12 network's final live broadcast.

"Pac-12 Networks began 12 years ago. I was one of the first hires and have been with the network since the launch. Tonight, I have the honor and the responsibility to say goodbye," he said.
