Pac-12′s Larry Scott addresses conference expansion

Speaking before Oregon and LSU’s game tonight at Cowboys Stadium, Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said he was open to adding teams to his conference but that his conference isn’t looking to steal teams away.

“Any suggestion whatsoever that out conference is being predatory, that’s just wrong,” Scott said, according to The Associated Press. “We have not had expansion as an initiative, as an agenda for us at all. So to the extent, if there were any conversations going on, you can be sure they’re not the ones we initiated.”

OU president David Boren said Friday that the Sooners weren’t going to be a “wallflower” when it comes to conference realignment.

Scott would not comment on any specific schools that have reached out to the conference.
