COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — University of Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn says he hopes to know within a month how much it’s going to cost the school to bolt the Big 12 for the Pac-10.
Lawyers for both conferences and the university are in discussions on an exit strategy for CU, which announced earlier this month it was switching leagues in 2012.
The Buffaloes would prefer to leave after next season like the University of Nebraska, which is joining the Big Ten in 2011.
That could prove costlier for Colorado, but the Big 12 might also decide it’s better for the Buffaloes to leave after next school year and agree to a lower penalty fee.
