Nebraska set to bolt for B10, B12 officials say conference surely dead if they do

So the first move in the mega-conference has taken place with Nebraska regents informally agreeing to leave the Big 12. OrangeBloods reports that with this move, the Big 12 is likely dead, thus setting up the potential for a massive expansion between the Pac Ten and six Big 12 teams including the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas. 

Though it looked like a few days ago the possibilities hit a potential snag, the foundation for the dissolving of the Big 12 Conference has begun with the likelihood of Nebraska leaving for the Big Ten.

This will impact Utah namely because we had all hoped they would find a spot in the newly formed Pac 12. That is unlikely to happen if the Big 12 collapses. So the next step, of course, would be to create a mega-conference of our own - most likely with B12 leftovers. That is if they want to play in the Mountain West. 

But as it has been lately, news does abruptly change...so this isn't set in stone yet.

Pinkie, I'm holding out hope.

Still hoping the PAC 10 doesn’t want TTech and Baylor so much that they take Utah and CU despite the TX legislature’s wishes.

That hope has crossed my mind

That said Colorado, Kansas and Kansas State in the MWC would be a nice pick up for the conference.

And now...

CU is headed to the PAC 10.

It will be interesting to see how this effects the 4 Texas schools and Utah.

Has CU

Been offered officially? If they have not, wait and see. They might want to go to the PAC-10, but they might not get an offer.

Yes they were offered and they'll accept...

Because if they don’t, they won’t have a conference to play in next year, haha!

The Big 12 looks dead.

So unless a few of those Big 12 South teams bolt for the SEC (or Texas to the B10), it looks like our P10 dreams are dead, as well.

Interesting

Looks like Baylor is up the creek-o-rama.
