Big 12/Pac-10 Challenge is a Go

Christmas Comes Early


For you avid college hoops fans, this may come as old news. But it needs to be duly noted, with appropriate rejoicing: Rumors of a Big 12/Pac-10 Challenge, which have been circulating talk shows and internet message boards for roughly the last five years, have now been confirmed.

There will be a Big 12/Pac-10 men’s basketball challenge next season.

“It’s going to happen,” Big 12 associate commissioner John Underwood told the Austin (Texas) American-Statesman.

...KU’s game in the first Big 12/Pac-10 Challenge could be the Jayhawks’ return trip to Southern California, which is already on the 2007-08 schedule. Or it could be a matchup against Arizona at Allen Fieldhouse, with KU traveling to Tucson the following year.
The Pac-10 also includes storied teams UCLA and Stanford. This arrangement will make for some great match-ups. I can only hope that the Big 12 will win a majority of their games, as opposed to the Big 10, who gets buffed and glossed every year in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge Waxjob.
