Re: Colorado gone

I just saw this as well and they are saying this is reported by The Sporting News and will be announced today. The dominoes are falling...

Re: ESPN: Colorado to Pac 10

Ok, if all six were going, don't you think they'd wait and break it as a mass announcement? Especially CU whose probably dependent on getting a Big XII buyout waived?

They must be pretty sure 5 other schools are following them.

Re: ESPN: Colorado to Pac 10

Ugh I know this is about tv sets, but how the heck does Colorado get a better spot than us. They suck at literally everything, and they have no fans even when they are good.

At least when we suck we still fill the seats....this is depressing

Well, we're not sure where Iowa State will be at this time - maybe we'll be in a good spot, maybe a bad spot in the long run. Time will tell.

Crazy-pulled-out-of-my-***-scenario #57207:

Big XII is ceding CU to the Pac-10 to allow them to expand to 12 with Utah. We look east to pick up two new schools in new markets. Pac-10 and Big XII sign even better tv agreement with Fox than the one that was contingent on Nebraska staying.

It's not crazy (as I think the premise has actually been discussed before the waves started crashing yesterday), just not likely.

Re: ESPN: Colorado to Pac 10

Not necessarily. They wanted out anyhow.

My response was more in terms of not having to pay the buyout. But I concede that they've been looking for a way to go to the Pac 10 for years, probably for as long as the CU-NU rivalry has been on life support...

Meeting update: Just Texas and Texas A&M | College Sports Blog | Sports News | News for Dallas, Texas | The Dallas Morning News

Colorado is leaving to the Pac 10, yet Baylor (and Tech) will be part of today's meeting with Texas and A&M. Maybe they actually WILL try to save the conference after all. That has to be Baylor's top priority now that the Pac 10 looks very unlikely for them.

Thatd be the best possible scenario.

Its been talked about before that the Pac 10 may either go CU\UT, or that 6 may come over... CU may be jumping because they want to head west either way, and head off the chance of baylor making political progress..
