After having talks about a partnership or merger, talks have ended without a deal between the Big 12 and Pac-12 according to multiple reports.
Sources told @CBSSports that within the last 2 hours the @Big12Conference told the @pac12 it is not interested in a full-on merger. @PeteThamel reported first. The door remains open for the Big 12 to invite individual Pac-12 teams.

The talks came after the news that USC and UCLA were joining the Big Ten. With schools leaving both conferences in recent years, the Big 12 had pitched to some Pac-12 schools about joining them before talks between the two conferences began.
With the season coming up some have predicted that the next domino in conference realignment might not fall until next summer. For now, the Big Ten and SEC will have 18 schools, while the Pac-12 will have 10 and the Big 12 will have 12 once Texas and Oklahoma leave and their new additions arrive.
