Change is coming to the world of college football. What school should move to which conference in order to rake in more money seems to be the biggest question on everyone's minds. Even on Friday, the Pac-10 conference has announced the University of Colorado has accepted an invitation to join and will be leaving the Big 12 conference.

Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott said, " The University of Colorado is a great fit for the Conference both academically and athletically and we are incredibly excited to welcome Colorado to the Pac-10."

At this point, the Pac-10 could expand its ranks by up to 6, according to ESPN.com, with invitations being sent to Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Texas Tech.

What does this move mean for the world of college football? At this point, it looks like the NCAA is headed down a road that could lead to four or five super-conferences. The Pac-10 will surely try to contend with the super-markets of the South-Eastern Conference, and the Big East.

If the Pac-10 is able to send invitations to the six Big 12 schools, and if they all accept, it definitely looks like the end of the Big 12 is upon us. If these changes are made, what does it mean to smaller conferences? It's too early to tell at this point in time, but the expansion intentions of the schools in the Big 12 could have ripple effects to other conferences.

According to ESPN.com, Big-12 Commissioner Dan Beebe reportedly gave both Missouri and Nebraska both a deadline to decide if they were staying in the conference or going elsewhere. The deadline was reported to be as early as June 15.

At this day and time, conference play is centered around how much money a school stands to make, which isn't a bad thing until it gets in the way of allowing conference play to be what it should be based on: rivalry and competition. We are entering a new era of college football, and at this point, it's really too early to say if the moves made by these schools will be for the best or worst.

It seems like in today’s collegiate atmosphere that there is just as much of an emphasis on the little things, like who is in what conference for example, as actually developing a challenging schedule. Will the new conference line-ups provide fans with some close games? sure, but what about the old conference rivalries? Will they be forgotten?

With Colorado being the first to jump ship, it's a safe bet to say they won't be the last. Unless Texas tries to make a move, the SEC more than likely won't give their hand at expansion. Get ready because the next few weeks will be probably provide the most life as far as schools moving from one conference to another. Change is coming to the world of college football.
