The Pac-10 isn't done yet, but the Pac-12 is the topic of conversation in San Francisco this week.Commissioner Larry Scott is setting the stage for the future of the new-look conference, meeting with athletic directors Wednesday and Thursday to hash out three big matters.
New members Utah and Colorado will be in on the discussions.
"This is a significant point in time for the conference," Scott said Saturday. "These are big discussions that we are having, but I don't expect any decisions to come out of the AD meeting."
The first matter is conference divisions in football, and it's a complicated and potentially contentious issue, with all of the schools in the conference looking to keep their yearly matchups with the Los Angeles and Bay Area schools because of recruiting interests, as well as their traditional rivalries.
Numerous models are on the table, including a North-South model, breaking the schools into pods, or a coastal/inland scenario. The conference is also looking at a "zipper model" that could keep traditional rivals playing one another every year in opposite divisions.
