Pac-10 announces future name change
New York, NY – The Pac-10 Conference will officially undergo a name change once two new schools join the grouping. The announcement was made on Tuesday, as conference commissioner Larry Scott unveiled new branding for the Pac-10 beginning this upcoming season. Scott confirmed that the Pac-10 will become the Pac-12 for the 2011-12 season, once both the University of Colorado and the University of Utah are welcomed to the fold. This will be the first time since 1978 that the conference will see a different moniker, as in that year Arizona and Arizona State joined what was then the Pac-8.
