Utah has officially accepted an invitation to join the Pac-10 Conference, further strengthening an already strong gymnastics conference.  They currently compete as part of the WAC, which does not sponsor a conference championship.  Eight teams currently now support the Women's sport in the Pac-10.  Utah will begin Pac-10 competition for the 2011-2012 school year.   

Colorado had previously announced it's intention to join the Pac-10 after NU moved from the Big 12 to the Big 10.  Shortly thereafter, Boise State moved to the MWC.  This all started a chain reaction of negotiations between schools, conferences (Big 10, Pac 10, and Big 12) and television networks.   In the end, the remaining schools in the Big 12 decided to stay together as a conference after a new television deal was assembled that satisfied Texas.  Some pundits speculated that the major sports television networks had a vested interest in preventing the spread of mega-conferences, each with their own television channels.

However, there is speculation that although the activity has settled down, it is not yet completed.  Some schools, and more importnatly, boosters are still seeking out the best options for their schools.
