Texas, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State declined the offers to join the conference, which at the time, seemed like the realignment was coming to an end.

Not so fast. The Pac-10 has already found the 12th team that is joining conference.

According to CSN (Comcast Sports Net) Bay Area via Twitter, the Pac-10 will send an invitation to Utah, who will accept and become the 12th team in the conference.

"The Pacific-10 Conference will extend an invitation to the University of Utah to become the league's 12th team, Comcast SportsNet has learned exclusively from sources close to the situation. A press conference is expected to formalize the announcement on Thursday."
