NEW YORK -- For years people in the Pac-10 -- from players to fans -- have complained about a lack of recognition and a so-called East Coast bias that caused the conference to be under-appreciated nationally.


Commissioner Larry Scott, who grew up in New York on Long Island, decided that instead of complaining it was time for the league to do something about it.


Say goodbye to the old Pac-10. The league has a new logo, a new more aggressive attitude and two new members scheduled to arrive in 2011. And when Colorado and Utah officially join, the conference will also have a new name.


The Pac-12 is on its way.

I would have like to have seen some bigger schools move over, like Texas or something.
The PAC-10 really only has UCLA and USC that compete for a title every year.
and USC won't be competing for a title in football this year lol
I cant believe it really took this long to change the name to the Pac 12. This is the first step for all of the other conferences to follow suit. I say the Big 10 changes their name pretty soon and the Big 12 does something with their's as well.
The Pac-Weak. Weak conference.
