Teresa Gould Breaks Barrier as First Woman Pac-12 Commissioner

Gould takes the helm during a pivotal time for the two-team league, facing the challenge of navigating the conference through significant changes.

Teresa Gould has been named the new Pac-12 commissioner, becoming the first woman to hold this position in a Power 5 conference.
Gould's appointment comes at a critical time for the Pac-12, which is now a two-team league consisting of Washington State and Oregon State.
The conference faces significant challenges following the departure of 10 schools to other conferences, a move that has reshaped the landscape of college athletics.
Gould, previously the Pac-12 deputy commissioner, brings over 30 years of experience in college sports administration to her new role.
Under her leadership, the Pac-12 will explore new partnerships and media rights agreements to ensure the long-term viability and success of its remaining members.
