Breaking: The University of Colorado's Board of Regents voted unanimously to leave the Pac-12 for the Big 12 after the 2023-24 season.
The University of Colorado will leave the Pac-12 for the Big 12 after the 2023-24 season, as the school formalized its future membership in the Big 12 on Thursday.
One single defection could destroy the PAC, but even if it doesn't, it's a huge validation for Brett Yormark and the nuB12. I am so curious now about what numbers Kliavkoff has been floating for the PAC media deal.
Oh I absolutely think the Pac's dead. It's just a matter of where the remaining members go. I'd be shocked if we don't see Oregon and Washington to the Big 10 by the end of the calendar. Maybe Oregon State and Washington State go with them? The other members don't really have a (strong) chance at either of the two major power conferences.
This is all so weird. Whispers of UW, though I think even if they pull the trigger I think it would be only for the current media deal. I'd almost prefer to just get Arizona done and let my B12 settle into this new world we're in.
I still don't love that OUT left, but the B12 has handled it so much better than the PAC did USCLA. If nothing else, the timing worked out way better.
What are they, Pac-9 now?
Holy shit they actually did it, the madlads
