Here we go again.
A little more than a year after UCLA and USC shocked college sports by announcing a move to the Big Ten, Colorado has dealt the floundering Pac-12 Conference another blow by announcing it will leave for the Big 12 starting with the 2024-25 athletic season.
Colorado was a member of the Big 12 (previously the Big 8) from 1947 until joining the Pac-12 in 2011.

The Buffaloes’ departure leaves the Pac-12 with nine members beyond this year, its fewest since 1977, the year before Arizona and ASU joined what was then known as the Pacific-8.
