Colorado is poised to announce as early as Thursday that the school is leaving the Big 12 to join the Pac-10.
Colorado's conference move was first reported by The Sporting News.
Colorado's impending move might spell the end for the Big 12 conference. Nebraska is also poised to announce its move from the conference to the Big Ten.
A Big 12 football coach, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach on Wednesday night that if Nebraska left the Big 12 the conference would dissolve, according to his athletics director and university president. The coach said Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Colorado would join the Pac-10, leaving Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri and Iowa State behind.
