The Pac 12 is considering moving to an eight game conference schedule next season. A report says a committee of four athletic directors is exploring the idea of cutting a match up with a conference opponent, whether or not they expand following UCLA and USC’s departure next season. Another game would be scheduled with a non-conference school at some point in the season.

The Seattle Seahawks Training Camp begins today. They’re one of the more intriguing teams in the NFL after making a surprise run to the playoffs last season following the trade of quarterback Russell Wilson. The 2022 Comeback player of the year QB Geno Smith will have a lot of weapons to work with on offense. Seattle’s Defense looks to be upgraded also. They do look to be playing a tougher schedule than last year though.
