Colorado is headed to the Pac-10 Conference. The news became official this morning with a joint announcment from Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott and CU officials.
"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.
In leaving the Big 12 behind, CU become the Pac-10's 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," Scott said in a statement.
The new league will have at least 12 teams, and likely 16. It's not clear who the 12th team will be yet.
