| Pac-12 Conference Decides It Won't Expand Further |
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --The Pac-12 Conference is standing pat for now.
The league's presidents and chancellors voted late Tuesday night to reaffirm their decision to stay at a dozen members. Commissioner Larry Scott says ``after careful review we have determined that it is in the best interests of our member institutions, student-athletes and fans to remain a 12-team conference.''
Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech were among those considering a potential move from the Big 12. After expanding from the Pac-10 with new members Utah and Colorado last year, members of the new Pac-12 won't give them the chance.
The league already negotiated a landmark 12-year television contract with Fox and ESPN worth about $3 billion. And it appears plenty happy at a dozen.
