Colorado saw the way the wind was blowing and bolted to the PAC, Nebraska the BIG10.


Colorado saw they were being left out in a proposed PAC 16.

Allegedly (for the shithead law student in our midst) it was Texas, Texas Tech, A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and one other slot open (because the California schools weren't so keen on a Baptist University being a part of their conference). Colorado dove in before their spot was taken by Baylor. Once the deal fell through, Utah jumped in as well.

Colorado already had a deal to go to the PAC before any of the Texas/Oklahoma schools were considering it.

I've always wondered why the rest of the schools simply didn't go ahead and join, then add Utah as #16? But then I heard that it was the LHN that soured things.
