WALNUT CREEK, Calif.--The Pacific-10 Conference announced today that the University of Colorado at Boulder has accepted an invitation to join the Conference as it’s 11th member, the first new member since July 1, 1978.

“This is an historic moment for the Conference, as the Pac-10 is poised for tremendous growth. The University of Colorado is a great fit for the Conference both academically and athletically and we are incredibly excited to welcome Colorado to the Pac-10,” said Commissioner Larry Scott.

“On behalf of The University of Colorado students, faculty, alumni and fans, we are proud to accept this invitation from the Pac-10 and join the most prestigious academic and athletic conference in the nation, “ said Philip P. DiStefano, chancellor of CU-Boulder.

“The University of Colorado is a perfect match - academically and athletically - with the Pac-10,” said University of Colorado President Bruce D. Benson, “our achievements and aspirations match those of the universities in the conference and we look forward to a productive relationship.”

Commissioner Scott, Chancellor DiStefano, President Benson, CU Board of Regents Chairman Steve Bosely and CU Athletics Director Mike Bohn and others will hold an official press conference on Friday, June 11, 2010 at 11 a.m. MT at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo.

You beat me to it Jimmy. I was just about to post his myself. I almost can't believe this is actually/finally happening. I'm not going to get jack ***** done today...
 
Yes Yes Yes Yes

We are offically the first to bolt - I really wanted that distinction. FU Texas!

This news is so crazy, I'm gonna finally stop lurking like a creeper and post! So ****ing happy we aren't in the MWC.

AMEN!

I couldn't agree more with your first post.

Welcome. (obligatory - now get me a beer and a sammich!)
 
From ESPN

"The University of Colorado is a perfect match -- academically and athletically -- with the Pac-10," Colorado president Bruce D. Benson said in a statement.
A source with direct knowledge of the Pac-10's discussions about adding more Big 12 teams told ESPN's Joe Schad on Thursday that from the Pac-10's perspective, it's "simply a matter of who signs next."
 
Welcome to the Pac 10! I've always felt that CU fit the Pac 10 very well, and it's great that it's finally official! Looking forward to conference games in Boulder!

And Buck the Fruins!!! Do us a favor - keep Skippy around until you guys make a trip to Boulder. We've got some piss balloons with his name on them. We've been saving them since the day he left, so they're nice and ripe... :smile2:

(Welcome, GBz - Really looking forward to joining the Pac-____. I agree CU is a great fit for the Pac, and the Pac is a great fit for CU. Hope you'll keep coming back around - part of the fun is going to be getting to know our new conference "friends'.)
