Expansion Who Wins, Who Loses
Okay with the dust finally settling in this realignment business, we can be sure of one thing that even though things may be calm and the wholesale changes to different conferences has been stemmed for now, the realignment talk is not done.
Let’s recap; Utah leaves the Mountain West behind and joins the Pac-10, Boise St. replaces them in the MWC after leaving the WAC Nebraska and Colorado leaves the Big-12 for a chance to play in the Rose Bowl, Nebraska to the Big-10, and Colorado to the Pac-10. For the record only four programs will be filing change of address forms for now.

Most of us were sure the conference expansion talks would die down after Texas decided to stick with the Big 12. Following their announcement, the entire league essentially announced how “committed” they were to Texas…er, the Big 12. So with the 10 team league in tact, the Pac-10′s plan for a mega conference was foiled. Most thought conference expansion talk would finish. But not quite. The Pac-10 is now the Pac-11.
