As was expected, Utah voted unanimously on Thursday to accept the Pac-10’s invitation to join the conference. The Utes leave behind the Mountain West Conference to become the 12th team in the Pac-10, joining Colorado as the two new teams. With 12 teams, the Pac-10 now has the number of schools required by the NCAA to play a conference championship game.

Wall showed his dribble-drive ability with both hands, hit pull-up jumpers and threw down dunks during a 30-minute session run by coach Flip Saunders and observed by general manager Ernie Grunfeld and new…

US Open 2010: Tiger Woods at Pebble Beach ‘getting his feel back’
Filed under: Devils , NHL Coaching John MacLean may have been the obvious choice once the Devils looked so flat in the first round against the Flyers in April, but his selection as head coach was apparently not a simple one. MacLean may be a very familiar face in New Jersey, but his hiring is unchartered territory for the Devils and general manager Lou Lamoriello. In officially — many would say finally — giving the head job to MacLean on Thursday , Lamoriello is hiring a friend to many in the organization. This could not have been an easy decision. It certainly wasn’t a sentimental one. As he always does, Lamoriello kept his hiring process close to the vest. There were reports that Kirk Muller — the former Devils captain, longtime close friend of MacLean’s and an assistant coach of the Canadiens — was under consideration. There were others who said former Habs and Penguins coach Michel Therrien was getting the job. Mike Haviland, an assistant with the Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks and a former head coach in New Jersey’s minor league system, was rumored to be a candidate. While he never even confirmed any interviews, Lamoriello waited until the completion of the Stanley Cup playoffs so he could speak with anyone he deemed worthy.

On Wednesday, a report emerged that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would like to see Arkansas (and Notre Dame) join the Big 12 which would instantly make it one of the top conferences. According to Chip Brown of Orangebloods.com ( via Twitter ), that report has some legs. Sources tell OB Arkansas has definitely put out feelers about possibly joining the Big 12, but the B12 votes don’t appear to be there yet. Arkansas has a better chance of joining than Notre Dame but its unclear if Jones was implying the two are a package deal. Arkansas, since joining the SEC, has seen its national profile drop. If it joined the Big 12, it would get back part of its Texas recruiting base as well as some relevance. Jerry Jones is a powerful man and, most importantly, has lots of cash and influence to make something happen. This is a situation worth monitoring.

The Minnesota Twins are giving Joe Mauer the day off against the Colorado Rockies after the star catcher had a tough few days behind the plate. Manager Ron Gardenhire says Thursday that Mauer “took about 18 foul tips” over the previous two game. One went off his face mask that stung him pretty good, Gardenhire says.
