Pac 10 Expansion

There has been reports over the last few months about a couple college conferences expanding in the next couple years.  It seems that the NCAA conference landscape could change rather significantly.  Though most people would like to see a playoff system in collegiate football, having six or seven conferences of 16 teams would negate the disenfranchised feeling the non-BCS conference have in competing for the National Title.  It might not be the best plan, but it is definitely Plan B. 

PAC 10 Conference Expansion

The Pac 10 commissioner Larry Scott was granted full power to pursue expansion of the conference. It is believed that the Pac 10 is looking to add 6 teams. Reports have suggested that Colorado, Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and the University of Oklahoma will all be invited to join.

Big 10

The Big 10 hasn't had 10 teams since Penn State joined the conference to make it 11. The last couple of months have been filled with reports of the Big 10 looking to expanding and inviting Nebraska, Missouri, Rutgers and Notre Dame. The Big 12 has given Nebraska and Missouri until Friday, June 11 to tell them there intentions of leaving the conference.

The Big 10 has not officially announce whether they are expanding or what schools they are pursuing yet. They might not have made their official statement, but it sure seems official enough for the Big 12.
