Colorado to join conference in 2011
(Written by kencraw)
Well, Larry Scott pulled off another one. He managed to play enough hardball with the Big-12 to get Colorado into the conference next year.
You can read more details from Ted Miller.
It’ll be nice not to have a transitional year and get straight to the Pac-10 and the conference championship game. Other than that, it’s not a huge deal, although it’s nice to see Larry Scott continue to negotiate issues skill.
All that we need now is the division alignments. That will be a far larger and much more controversial deal and should be decided during the October Pac-10 meeting.

This is very good news. It shows Larry Scott can get things done.
Look at all the great venues for the Conf Championship:
Oakland Coliseum
Glendale (AZ) Stadium
Invesco Stadium (Denver)
Quest Field (Seattle)
Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego)
Rose Bowl
Any guesses where the first game will be played?

Do the championship games of the other conferences rotate or are they always in the same location?

They rotate. In general, they use NFL stadia.

I guess it will be kind of fun to have a conf championship. I wasn’t upset with the way it was and would have been happy for it to continue like that forever but no sense crying over spilt milk.
