Colorado is headed back to the Big 12 conference next summer, and Oregon football coach Dan Lanning sounds completely unbothered by the move. Lanning took a very clear, yet accurate, shot at the Buffaloes on Monday. Not a big reaction, Lanning said when asked about Colorado’s plans to return to the Big 12. I'm trying to remember what they won to affect this conference and I don't remember. Do you remember them winning anything? I don't remember them winning anything. Though that’s harsh, he's not wrong. Colorado has had just a single winning season since joining the Pac-12 in 2011. Outside of their 10-4 finish in 2016, in which they won the Pac-12 South Division, the Buffaloes never won more than three conference games in a single season. They went 0-9 in conference play in 2014, and have four seasons in which they won just a single Pac-12 game. Deion Sanders is Colorado’s fifth head coach since it moved to the Pac-12. Based on that, it’s easy to see why Lanning and Oregon wouldn’t care much about the Buffaloes’ plans. Colorado officially voted to move back to the Big 12 last week. The Buffaloes’ decision to leave followed USC and UCLA opting to join the Big Ten next season. That will leave the Pac-12 with just nine teams. The Pac-12 still has yet to announce plans for a new media rights agreement — that’s reportedly coming later this week — something that Colorado athletic director Rick George said played a part in their decision to leave. The Pac-12 is clearly not in a good place, and it feels like it could fall apart at any moment. Arizona is rumored to be considering a jump to the Big 12, which would only complicate things even further for Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff. But for now, at least publicly, Lanning and Oregon are fine with Colorado leaving the conference.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
