The University of Oregon Board of Trustees voted unanimously Friday afternoon to leave the Pac-12 athletic conference and join the Big Ten. It's part of a seismic shift in the world of college sports, which has seen several large universities change conference affiliations recently. "It's an historic day for the University of Oregon and it's one that I'm enthusiastic about," said UO President Karl Scholz, who's been on the job for less than five weeks. 'Our coaches are really enthusiastic about this opportunity," he said.
