February 9, 2010
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott says that if the conferenceis going to expand, a decision will likely be made in the next year.
Scott spoke Tuesday on a conference call to announce the hiring of formerBig 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg as his new deputy.
Scott said it made sense to have a decision about expansion before startingto negotiate new television deals that expire following the 2011-12 academicyear.
Scott says “serious evaluation” of the topic will go on in the next six to12 months. He said the primary factor in the decision will be finding schoolsthat fit into the conference culturally and academically and determining whetherthe benefits of adding extra teams outweigh the costs.
