“University of Colorado is a great fit for the Conference both academically “

Anyone mentioning sports and academics in the same breath makes me laugh my head off.

Now is a good time to make the switch considering USC is looking at a two-year bowl ban, at least.

Looks like Baylor will no longer have the real athletic programs to smooch off anymore.

I think the NCAA is going the wrong way. They should have put Cal State San Diego, Long Beach, San Jose, and irvine in the Pac 10. Put Oregon and and Wash schoops in with Idaho, Boise St Montana and Wyoming, Utah. Put Arizona in with Nevad, Arizona, Nebraske and so on and so forth, creating tighter geographic rivalries.

The Big 12 is done.

The Big East, as a football conference, is going to go next. They will be a basketball and other sports conference.

Some schools are going to be screwed bad when this all shakes out. Four mega conferences will control college football.

“This is an historic moment for the Conference, as the Pac-10 is poised for tremendous growth”

Uh, two things. Everyone put your money in this as it's one whale of a stock tip. Second, it sounds like the team will be subsumed into all the other current teams. That, or the name, “Pac-10” isn't going to be around much longer.

That just seems like an odd comment for him to have made.

The University of Colorado is a great fit for the Conference both academically and athletically...

Timing can be a *itch, right?

Headlines that CU lost 6 football and one basketball scholarships for POOR academic achievement...today...

And CU's football program is anything but "competitive" in the Big 12 or anywhere else for that matter...they are lower echelon D1 anymore.

I thought Nebraska or Texas would be the first to announce their bolt...

Big Twelve will dissolve - so what does this do for the Pac-16 or whatever they are predicting and BCS bowl bids?

Statistically, unless things change, this is BAD in that only one BCS bid goes to Pac10 now...lowering anyone's chance of getting into a BCS bowl from the Pac# conference...

So what happens to the conference when the State of California goes bankrupt and can’t afford to keep the schools open any longer? Hey, I can dream of a bankrupt berkeley can’t I?

Loved what someone over at ESPN put on the comments...

..."this just gives CU a whole bunch of new schools to lose to"...

...dead on.

Wow, with Colorado making the move and Nebraska rumored to be going to the Big 10 + 1 (now 2) tomorrow, I think it’s all over for the Big 12. The other five teams will go to the Pac 10 + 1 and we’ll see if Mizzou gets an invite to the Big 10 + 2.

Pac-10 and big 10 are trying to model themselves after the sec. It may make them more competitive but the reason the best athletes choose the sec schools is because of the climate.
