Nebraska leaving the Big 12 in 2011 will force the league to redo its conference schedule for one year. It`s possible the league could accomplish that with Colorado, but it would probably prefer to part ways with both schools at the same time.
However, if the Big 12 forces Colorado to leave a year early with Nebraska, it could save CU some money in exit fees.
Another factor at play is whether television partners in the Pac-10 will be willing to restructure their contracts with the league for one season to include at least one new member in CU and possibly two, if Utah joins.
"I`m confident after all the league shakeup is confirmed that we`ll have the opportunity to sit down with both conferences and explore potential solutions to whatever shakeup is finalized," Bohn said.
If Colorado does leave a year early in 2011, it won`t be hard to change the football schedule for the 2011 season. CU is slated to play Cal that season as one of its nonconference games. That game would simply become a conference matchup while the other three nonconference games remain on the schedule.
Another reason CU is likely to move up its change in conference affiliation is the probable addition of Utah. The Utes figure to be the next target for the Pac-10 now that the Texas and Oklahoma schools are staying in the Big 12.
The Mountain West Conference requires only one-year notice to leave the league, which would allow Utah to join the Pac-10 in 2011 with little problem.
