In a Conference With New Ambition, Pac-10 Hopes for a Rebound
By Jon Weinbach - AOL NewsLOS ANGELES – It didn't quite match the pomp, circumstance and celebrity of the conference's cross-country road show for football, but the Pac-10 Conference's media day for men's basketball was yet another example of commissioner Larry Scott's plan to burnish the league's image. Instead of the usual staid event at an airport hotel, the league held its preseason hoops confab at the Nokia Theater in downtown Los Angeles, across the street from the Staples Center and in the heart of the L.A. Live complex owned by Anschutz Entertainment Group. It was far more building than necessary for a ...
College Football Shake-Up Has Senators Wary of Impact on State Schools
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyFirst it was the BCS. Now some U.S. senators fear their home state universities may be out in the cold as college football's major conferences move toward realignments that would create a few super conferences, diminishing those schools left behind. In the money-driven shake-up, the University of Nebraska is reportedly on the brink of joining the Big 10 conference and the University of Colorado is headed to the PAC-10. Both are members of the Big 12, which could lose additional schools regarded as football powerhouses. The issue posed by reporters to such senators as Sam Brownback (R-Kan.), ...
The Real Price of Big Ten Membership
By Jon Weinbach - AOL NewsMembership in the Big Ten certainly has its privileges. There's the history, the athletic tradition, the link with some of the finest research institutions in the country -- and of course, the annual check for $22 million. That's how much each of the schools in the Big Ten conference collected last year in media money, numerous outlets have written, a figure boosted by the success of the league's cable TV network, which debuted in 2007 and now has nearly 45 million subscribers. And that sum -- and the promise of even more -- is the main reason why there's so much speculation about which ...
Don't Ignore Pac-10 in Expansion Game
By Brian Grummell - AOL NewsConference expansion talk has commandeered the headlines this offseason in college football. There's been talk for years, but this time around things seem different, especially with the Big Ten signaling its interest in making moves and the Pac-10 hiring a new commissioner bent on dramatically upgrading the next television contract. The Big Ten has sucked up most of the oxygen in this discussion, but the Pac-10 could be a key contributor in changing the college sports landscape depending on just how aggressive it pursues -- perhaps even hooking Texas under the right conditions. Unfortunately ...
Oregon State Reclassifies Self as Vaguely Educational Type Thing
By Brian Cook - AOL NewsThrilling news from wherever Oregon State is located:Oregon State aims to separate itself from the other OSUs - Ohio State and Oklahoma State. From now on, Oregon State officials said Wednesday, the Beavers will be the only major college athletic program featuring an "OS" logo.You're probably thinking this is stupid, but the logo (at right) actually looks pretty good. The move will help distinguish Oregon State from the actual OSU, and dropping the U from OSU... er... OS's sports teams is a long overdue move since no team in the country churns through more football recruits than the Beavers, ...
