Tupac stopping the Pac-12 from the grave

The Pac-12 has a lot of changes to make this football offseason as it prepares to add Colorado and Utah to the fold. It's not just the football issues, either, as the conference had to come up with new divisions, find a place for a conference championship game and redo some schedules. No, there's also the more menial tasks like ordering new polos with the new -- and awesome -- Pac-12 logo on them.
The conference also has to buy a new domain name for its website, and it would like to buy Pac12.com. There's just one problem, the domain is already owned and the owner isn't interested in selling.
A dedicated fan of the deceased rapper Tupac Shakur currently owns the domain. Shakur was shot four times and killed in a Las Vegas incident in 1996. The shooting was one of the key events that ended a coastal feud between rappers, but some fans still refuse to believe he was killed and await his return. 
The conference is taking steps to gain ownership of the domain, which offers no content other than a widget to MP3 downloads of full albums by Shakur or single-song downloads on Amazon. Last week the conference filed a claim against the domain owner with the World Intellectual Property Forum, which prompted the domain owner to throw up the Amazon widget after reportedly sitting on the domain name with no Web page set up.
So it seems that it's all eyes on the domain owner. It won't be easy for the Pac-12 to pry the domain name from his hands, as he got his mind made up, and wants to know how do they want it. Do not get angry at him, Pac-12, because only god can judge him and he ain't mad at cha. So holla at him if you want, he ain't hard to find, so hit him up.*
*Who knew you could write an entire paragraph based on song titles off of one Tupac album. He really was a genius!
