When I click on the website, it's totally behind the paywall. But this is what the Google snippet says when you search for the article:

RealDawg.com has learned that a time “Around Memorial Day” is when there will be an official announcement that both the University of Washington and the University of Oregon are leaving the Pac-12 Conference for the B1G Conference. The move won't occur until 2024 or 2025

Well they did not say exactly on Memorial Day,  just "around" Memorial Day.  And they did not say which Memorial Day.  Maybe they meant Memorial Day 2024.  Check back again in 1 year.

#11 - Colorado

Why it makes sense

This makes sense only because Colorado would likely jump at the chance. It was always a little weird having the Buffs in the Pac-12 anyway being so far away from the West Coast. The institution is an AAU member, which puts it on the shortlist for the Big Ten.

The B1G and SEC should just hold a freakin' draft so we can be done with it.

As an easterner, I was pretty amazed when flying to LAX through Denver to find Denver wasn't at all close to LAX.  They were both "out west somewhere" to me, probably an hours flight time or so ...

Dennis Dodd is reporting that Colorado is in substantive talks with Big 12.  This could be the next domino to fall.

This wouldn't shock anyone, and suggests the B12 will survive if it happens perhaps as a P5 minus kind of league.  The Pac will be scrambling for new members none of whom would be that good at this point.  The future playoff criteria for inviting the top six ranked conference winners may have to be altered.

Yeah, the west is stupid big.  
In FL/GA, you can't go 20-30 miles without bumping into the next town.  Maybe 45 miles at the most.
Out west, you can drive 2-3 hours without hitting an intersection between 2 main roads, forget a town.

If the state line drawing guys towed the line of their predecessors, we would have 150 states.

Of course, way back when, states like Georgia stretched to the Mississippi.  I recall driving in Wyoming for about 60 miles not seeing even a driveway, or house, or anything.
