Big Ten-Pac-12 will team up and compete The Pac-12 and Big Ten have agreed to a long-term interconference scheduling "collaboration" that, if successful, could have far-reaching ramifications for both of their memberships. Likely beginning as early as next year, the Pac-12 and Big Ten are going to significantly reconfigure their future football, basketball and Olympic sports schedules to feature games between their combined 24 member schools. The conferences will announce their plans later Wednesday. http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/7396843/big-ten-pac-12-grow-scheduling-partnership http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/29/s...-big-ten-announce-scheduling-partnership.html http://www.blocku.com/2011/12/28/2666583/big-ten-pac-12-reach-long-term-scheduling-deal
