Have at it. Clean it up a bit, though. That first part's especially clunky. :lol:

Interesting that only NU, MU, and CU refused to pledge solidarity to the Big 12 at their meetings. So presumably the Oklahoma and Texas schools did...f**king liars.

I thought it was well known that Texas preference is to stay in the B10, and that is why ultimatiums are out.
I am still puzzled by how anyone thinks the P10 will allow Baylor(maybe), OSU and OU in, academically. I can't see some of those schools allowing all 3. I WSU isn't any great shakes and getting ASU accepted wasn't easy...now 3 more??? Just to appease Texas??
I think they may go with Utah and CU and call it good.
Because I believe it's being sold as a merger instead of an expansion. Arizona and Arizona State weren't enhancing the Pac's academic rep. The original 8 get to ship them off with the Big 12 South schools and call it a day. It will be the Pacific 8 versus the Southwest 8 and they'll be a single conference in name only. Wouldn't surprise me if they even had separate offices in Los Angeles and Dallas.
Then everyone makes an addition $10 million or so a year. Money talks and UT will effectively kill 2 conferences in one shot this time.

Texas is the Silver Surfer of conferences... devouring one after another as he goes along.
If anyone thinks CU being in any conference other than the P10/12/16 or the B12 is a good thing, they're ****ing nuts.
CU will never again be relevant in big boy football if that happens. And who the **** is going to be excited to go to Folsom to see SDSU or New Mexico on a regular basis? Hell, we can't pack that place against the big boys. Money will dry up, facilities will not be improved. Permanent irrelevance would be achieved. There will be no digging out of that hole.
If these new superconferences happen, we either need to be a part of one somehow, or we will be relegated to permanent second-tier status.
People on this board are just forgetting that CU is still one of the schools in the top 20 when it comes to alltime program wins.
I showed my wife CFBDatawarehouse.com and pointed to her that CU won like 13 conference championsips between 1909 and CU's first year in the conference that became the Big 8 in 1947.
CU will go through a rough time and then things will be able to turn around...it has been done in the past and it will be done in the future.
What won't change is that Folsom Field is an awesome place to watch football on sunny Saturday afternoons and celebrating at bars and resturants in the evenings. Can you buy that fun factor with money? Me think not.

Do you suppose that with the addition of Boise St. and (1,2,3 others?) to the MWC. That the NCAA would give an automatic BCS bid to the winner of the MWC. If this is the case I think landing in the Mountain West would be a good thing. We would be the fourth or fifth best team right away and with a bid to win a crystal football playing against teams we can compete against monetarily. I can't lie this will effect my interest in CU football.
