It depends... I think the PAC will expand anyway. They just won't be getting the primo teams they were hoping for.

I don't know the dollars and cents of CU's move to the Pac10, but IMO Colorado is a better "fit" in the Pac10 to begin with.

which means they won't be making close to the estimated money they were trying to push last week

Maybe not as much as if UT was there but I would still guess that a Pac16 without UT makes more money for CU than their current big 12 deal

If it doesn't get Texas and OU, who could it get that improves the quality of its football product? Why expand for mediocrity?

i doubt that

without UT there is no cable network worth a shite

if they have to rely solely on tv deals, they will not get a good one. the west coast, zona, and denver, do not really watch/support CFB

assistant ad lost his job, and player's dad was involved. Total of six to eight athletic department employees. Could easily fall under loss of institutional control.

They were going to get that anyway (at least not in the long term). I can't see how the PAC-10's deal will be worse than what CU was getting in the Big-12.

Colorado made the smart move, if the PAC 10 picks up Utah its a nice fit for CU

CU to the Pac-10 had been a longstanding process which starting way before anyone thought Texas or OU had any interest at all in the Pac-10. The original deal was CU and Utah so the Pac-10 could then have a title game. UT and the rest sort of came out of nowhere

The best way for CU to boost revenue is to start winning again no matter what their TV deal is. The only way they're going to do that is that by getting back their prior place in California recruiting.

you're right. since they had a 5 star from California be a bust, they should probably keep recruiting the 2 star scrubs they're getting right now. Seems to be working well for them

when they were winning, it was off being one of the top recruiting schools in California. They need a way to get back to that to be a viable program

Didn't CU live off of partial-qualifiers back then? They had a ton of off-the-field issues.

Am I missing something? Is UT and OU thinking of not joining the pac- 28? I thought this was a done deal. just going through the formalities?

A&M said no to the PAC-16 and is seriously considering the SEC.
OU looks like they are seriously considering both the PAC-16 and SEC.
UT is now nervous now that everyone isn't following along to PAC-16 and talking about salvaging Big-12.
The Big-12 still unfeasible, A&M knows it and realizes that UT is trying to blame the fall of the Big-12 on them.
Now the Texas legislature is having hearings Wed.
Nothing will happen until then.
Tune in next week for another episode of "Dallas"
