KSL.com: SALT LAKE CITY -- The University of Utah replaced the Mountain West Conference (MWC) logo Tuesday with the new Pac-12 logo on the turf inside Rice-Eccles Stadium.

The replacement was expected to happen a week ago, but due to a manufacturing delay and the spring scrimmage being moved from Saturday to Monday, the logo swap didn't occur until Tuesday- in plenty of time for the annual Red-White game scheduled for Saturday, April 16.

Utah accepted an invitation to join the Pac-10 in June of last year and will officially join the conference, along with the Colorado Buffaloes, on July 1, at which time the conference name will officially change to the Pac-12.

The Utes have been in the Mountain West Conference since the league was formed in 1999, while the Buffaloes are moving over from the Big 12.

That's pretty dang cool!

I have to admit, with the conference moves my hatred for the Utes has dropped greatly. Rooting for their success in the Pac-12...doesn't hurt that I can't stand most of the teams over there.

I think they realized, a little too late, that was a, shall we say, misguided slogan. :haha:

How about a $$$$
It's basically the same thing as the Pac-12 logo.

While the PAC-12 money is a nice bonus.... its much more then that... The PAC-12 beats the MWC using any type of format and/or measurement you desire, both educationally and athletically.

Beyond a better football schedule and the money it brings, most people in Utah have yet to really understand what a move to the PAC-12 means.
