So the last ditch effort by Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe seems to have been successful. Texas has declined an invitation to join the Pac-10, which will also result in the other 4 invitations (Texas A&M;, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma St) being declined as well. After the developments over the past few days, this [...]

With promises of a new TV contract with a $17 million per year payout, along with flexibility for individual schools to create their own networks [...]

It’s been a busy week for the Big 12 administrators. There is talk out of Omaha from some reliable sources, that Nebraska is set to leave the Big 12 for the Big Ten, and has reportedly received an invitation from the Big Ten. Even more interesting are rumors that because of the alleged planned Nebraska [...]

Update (6/8/10): Looks like nothing came out of the meeting today at Colorado. Instead, they simply discussed their options since they did NOT receive an invitation from the Pac-10, which had been rumored to have happened today. Nothing is set in stone, but based on a meeting that took place today at Colorado, the school [...]

While no set expansion plan has been made in regards to what schools the Pac-10 will officially invite, one agreement has been finalized by the Pac-10 presidents. The 10 members schools have given commissioner Larry Scott the green light to explore and recommend conference expansion scenarios. It might not seem like big news, but it [...]

When the first talks of another round of massive conference expansion started, we knew that one thing was for certain: Texas was the crown jewel. With all the recent rumors circulating, it appears they are still the object of desire. Pac-16?:In some past articles, I mentioned how Texas was the prettiest girl, and everyone wanted [...]

Not quite. But the Pac-10 and Big 12 have had discussions recently about creating a joint TV network or television partnership of some sort. It makes sense on paper when you look at some of the markets that would be covered, all west of the Mississippi. Of course, the only complication would be if the [...]

In a clear sign that that the Pac-10 is finding it difficult to target profit-generating expansion candidates, the conference is looking into the legislation behind staging a conference championship game. Current NCAA bylaw 17.9.5.2 (c) states that a conference must have 12 members to stage a championship game. It’s just that the Pac-10 doesn’t have [...]

Nine million dollars. It`s the initial price tag for the University of Colorado to move from the Big 12 Conference to the Pac-10 by 2012. The biggest question from the Colorado perspective, if the Pac-10 comes calling, is whether absorbing the initial cost of switching conferences is too much or if it`s a small price [...]
