Honor awarded to college basketball players From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pac-12 Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year was an award given to the Pac-12 Conference's most outstanding player. The award was first given following the 1975–76 season, when the conference was known as the Pacific-8, and was determined by voting from the Pac-12 media and coaches. On August 2, 2024, 10 of the 12 members departed from the conference. The Pac-12 continues to operate as a two-team conference for at least the 2024–25 academic year, sponsoring four sports – football, track & field, women's gymnastics and wrestling, making the 2023–24 award the last one to be handed out.[1]
