WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--The Pacific-10 Conference announced today that the University of Colorado at Boulder has accepted an invitation to join the Conference as its 11th member, the first new member since July 1, 1978.

"This is an historic moment for the Conference, as the Pac-10 is poised for tremendous growth. The University of Colorado is a great fit for the Conference both academically and athletically and we are incredibly excited to welcome Colorado to the Pac-10," said Commissioner Larry Scott.

"On behalf of The University of Colorado students, faculty, alumni and fans, we are proud to accept this invitation from the Pac-10 and join the most prestigious academic and athletic conference in the nation, " said Philip P. DiStefano, chancellor of CU-Boulder.

"The University of Colorado is a perfect match - academically and athletically - with the Pac-10," said University of Colorado President Bruce D. Benson, "our achievements and aspirations match those of the universities in the conference and we look forward to a productive relationship."

Commissioner Scott, Chancellor DiStefano, President Benson, CU Board of Regents Chairman Steve Bosely and CU Athletics Director Mike Bohn and others will hold an official press conference on Friday, June 11, 2010 at 11 a.m. MT at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo.

I'll miss it too, it will still be interesting to see how this all plays out, we may end up without a rival in this deal as well, kind of like how you all felt with the Big 12. I am still hopefull for Utah but I doubt it at this point.

 
Awww. The pac 10 announcement needed its own post boys. Thats big news.

Anyway, do you suppose Texas is going to boycott California and Colorado now? :lol:

with the fact that it is straight up official that colorado is going to the pac-10...doesn't it seem odd that the other 5 schools who thought they had a deal aren't looking at the same thing...i really believe that the 6 team leave from the big 12 is bs...good for the buffs and i think the big 12 is still going to be intacted...oh yeah...the buffs ruined the big 12.... :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound :laughpound

 
For all the bluster and saber-rattling from down south about who's on the boat and who isn't, all directed at Nebraska and Missouri, looks like someone forgot to tell Dan Beebe and his Texas counterparts that other schools have wandering eyes.

How poetic is it that while Nebraska and Missouri were "under threat of ultimatum," Colorado sneaks out the back door.

Congratulations, Big XII. You just proved why you're a failing conference. :clap
