Reorganization[]

On June 10, 2010, the University of Colorado announced that they would leave the Big-12 Conference and join the Pacific-10 Conference, starting in 2012.[3] On June 11, 2010, the University of Nebraska announced that it would leave the Big-12 and join the Big Ten Conference, starting in 2011.[4] Texas A&M had been considering moving to the Southeastern Conference,[5] and other Big 12 member schools had been considering moving to the Pacific-10 Conference.[6] However, all the Big 12 teams (save for Colorado and Nebraska) that had been considering moving to other conferences ultimately decided to stay with the Big 12.
