Colorado joins Pac-10
College football expansion officially got underway on Friday when the Colorado Buffaloes accepted an offer to join the Pac-10. The school’s board of regents unanimously approved the move, and as a result could have knocked over the first domino toward blowing up the Big 12 altogether.
The sport’s offseason news has been dominated by expansion rumors, but Colorado’s move was the first tangible piece of evidence that the sport is about undergo a face lift. Nebraska followed suit on Friday, joining the Big 10 and leaving the Big 12 teetering on the edge of oblivion. With Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M among others likely to bolt the conference, the Big 12’s days appear to be numbered.
