Two years ago, the Pac-12 had two members and a whole lot of doubt.
Teresa Gould had something else. She had conviction and a vision.
In two short years, Commissioner Gould built back a team of 30 who raised their hands and stayed while navigating a rebuild that nobody had a roadmap for. And she did it while trusting her team and leaning on her 36 years of experience in college athletics.
Now the historic league is back. Nine schools. A new logo. A new season on the horizon. And we are celebrating that with a new series titled THE DAWN, presented by the Pac-12 and Y-Option.
Ten episodes. Eight head football coaches. One commissioner. And a never-before-seen short film from behind the scenes of the rebuild. All of it candid, all of it in-depth where we cover culture, leadership, expectations, and the vision driving the next chapter of Pac-12 football.
For those of you who have been with us at Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth from the jump, this series is for you. We are grateful for your support, the community we’ve created here at Y-Option and the love for college football that we all share.
For those just joining this newsletter, we hope to bring you thoughtful insight into college football and THE DAWN seems like a great place to start. Hope you enjoy Commissioner Teresa Gould as she opens up on resilience, reinvention and what it took to bring the Pac-12 back.
After all, who doesn’t love a comeback story?
Much love and stay steady,
Yogi
THE DAWN will debut today across the Pac-12’s YouTube and Pac-12 Insider, the league’s 24/7 FAST channel. The series culminates with a finale featuring never-before-seen behind-the-scenes content from the building of this new league. It drops in August, right before the season kicks off.
