There is growing speculation from other Big 12 members that Tuesday night's meeting among Colorado University leaders is to discuss the legality of bolting the Big 12 right now to accept an invitation from another conference, two sources told Orangebloods.com.
I think they're sh*tting themselves in Austin over the thought that CU might bolt to the Pac without them. Honestly. I think that concerns them. They have been planting all kinds of craziness in the press for the last week and are now faced with the very real possibility that nobody gives a damn what they think or do.

This scenario and no Texas would be almost to good too hope for...
CU is the only one in the B12 that realistically would go without UT, IMO. The Texas schools can't go without them and OU doesn't have a lot of incentive to leave the B12. They might not make as much as UT does, but they do just fine.
This guy is a complete doosh, I love how he floats the MWC option for Colorado.
And does anyone get the feeling that his "sources" on this story is actually Allbuffs?
Listening to Vic and Gary this morning, they had one of the producers from News 4 on. The guy is a huge CU fan and was taking his 8 year old to the CU football camp. He said that CU was invited to the Pac 10 several years ago but turned them down and they have regretted it ever since.
Can anyone cooborate that?
"It's quite likely that at some point in the future, and I don't know how far, there will be more realignments and more reconfigurations," Pac-10 commissioner Tom Hansen said. "We have become convinced major conferences are going to get bigger."
This whole story just doesn't pass the eyeball test to me. So the regents are meeting to discuss a specific legal issue and suddenly it turns into CU bolting for the PAC-16. Seriously, the meeting of the regents could be for any number of things - including how to legally protect the Universities' fiscal interests should Nebraska and Mizzou get out of the Big 12 or getting an action plan in place should CU get an invite or be denied and invite. Seems like a bit of a stretch at this point to think this is anywhere near a done deal. Maybe I am wrong or being too objective.
a) legally protect the fiscal interests? whatever that means... hope they dont spend too much time on that one...
b) denied an invite? not sure there is a legal argument/ issue to discuss on a DENIAL of an invite
c) how do we legally get out of this Big 12 thing????? BINGO!!!!!

(a) I assume Nebraska and Mizzou have large buyout clauses if they leave the Big 12. A portion of that money which CU would be entitled to. Correct?
(b) Poor choice of words - basically it could be a planning session to go over scenerios if in fact a PAC-16 bid is not extended.
(c) Could be absolutely correct. Who knows is basically my point.
I think Colorado jumping first is basically to cut Baylor's nuts off. So to speak. I bet Scott and Powers are working on this.
When you cut a bears' nuts off, do they go apesh!t on you?
Regulators mount up!
