It has been an eventful morning. Jeff Tedford has been relieved of his duty and we will now move forward with our first press conference of the post-Tedford era. What will the new era bring? We may begin to find out at 3pm today.

You can watch the press conference live via the Pac-12 Network.

We will update this post as we hear updates from the press conference.
