Pete Carroll is one of the winningest coaches in Pac-12 history, so he has a unique perspective on the latest moves of Oregon and Washington to the B1G, and Arizona, Arizona State and Utah to the Big 12.

The Pac-12, in a statement, also called it “incredibly disappointing.”

“I don’t have enough information to comment clearly but I’m really disappointed. I would think that there are a lot of people, a lot of fans who are disappointed too,” Carroll said. “I know it’s a financial turn that they do and they’ve got to make their decision and all but there is something about the tradition of it all that gets lost and I don’t know where they recapture that. I don’t know how they recapture the traditions that have stood for so long. It’s not just our conference out there, it’d around the country too.”

Caroll went 97-19 in 9 seasons, including 4 Rose Bowls and 2 Orange Bowls.

“But I really don’t understand. But I’m pretty disappointed in college football right now, just in general,” Carroll said. “Just disappointed that it’s gone the way it’s gone with all of the stuff that’s happening and I hope they can get it right and it comes out way better than I can imagine it in my limited capacity here. But just kind of liked the tradition of it that I feel like we are missing and all that and I don’t know how you recapture that.”
