Presidents of Pac-12 universities could vote in June to move the conference's football championship game to the San Francisco 49ers' new stadium in Santa Clara, California. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott would not say whether he favored the move but said if it's done it would make sense to do it this year, the first season of the 68,500-seat, $1.2 billion Levi's Stadium. The first three conference title games have been held in the stadium of the division champion with the best conference record - Oregon in 2011, Stanford in 2012 and Arizona State last year. ''We're not dissatisfied with what we have,'' Scott told reporters Wednesday during a break in Pac-12 meetings at a Phoenix resort, ''but there are some unique opportunities, particularly this Levi's opportunity.'' Pac-12 presidents meet in Newport Beach, California, June 6-7 and Scott said a vote would be necessary then if the conference is to move to Levi's Stadium in the coming season.
