A staple platform of the CFP Foundation, Extra Yard for Teachers (EYFT) seeks to elevate the teaching profession by inspiring and empowering teachers through the implementation of programs in four focus areas: resources, recognition, recruitment and professional development.  The CFP Foundation utilizes multiple partnerships to execute its initiatives and support positive educational outcomes.  Created in 2015, the dedicated week for the EYFT platform provides an opportunity for universities, coaches and student-athletes to take part in its overall mission with the Pac-12 being the first Power-Five conference to partner with the CFP Foundation on this initiative.

The Conference has a tradition as the “Conference of Champions,” leading the nation in NCAA Championships in 52 of the last 58 years, with 513 NCAA team titles overall. The Conference comprises 12 leading U.S. universities - the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, the University of California-Berkeley, the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), the University of Colorado, the University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Stanford University, the University of Southern California, the University of Utah, the University of Washington and Washington State University.
