SAN FRANCISCO -- The Pac-10 wrapped up its meetings Sunday by giving commissioner Larry Scott the authority to pursue any possible expansion, however, the conference did not commit to adding any more schools.
The conference will decide its future plans by the end of the year before negotiating a new television contract for the 2012-13 academic year.
Pac-10 administrators arrived in San Francisco over the weekend to a report that the conference was ready to invite Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Colorado from the Big 12 to create a 16-team megaconference.
"We probably have contemplated or are contemplating almost everything you've read about," Scott said. "The Pac-10 is in a very fortunate position. We have tremendous prospects exactly as we are. We also have some potentially exciting opportunities regarding expanding the footprint of the conference."
There has also been a report that Baylor could replace Colorado in that scenario or the Pac-10 could choose to keep the status quo or add only two teams in a smaller move.
