University of Colorado regents have authorized the school's chancellor to move forward with plans for the school to join the Pac 10 on July 1.

An agreement with the Big 12, the school's current conference, would allow it to withhold $6.86 million in revenues that it would be entitled to receive before then and to join the Pac 10 a year early.

The regents made the decision during a Tuesday meeting.
