The survival of the Pac-12 Conference boils down to the University of Oregon. That’s what a well-placed source told me in the wee hours of Thursday morning, just as I was wondering when and where the Pac-12’s funeral would be held.

The conference could still die.

I want to say that up front.

The Arizona Board of Regents has a 6 p.m. PT meeting on the books for Thursday. Some expect the board will use that forum to announce Arizona and Arizona State are leaving for the Big 12. Others within the conference insist the “border schools” only view the Big 12 as a contingency, don’t want to be left behind in a crumbling conference, and are waiting to hear whether Oregon is bolting for the Big Ten.
