    So, that makes it sound like he's leaning for Colorado to stay in the PAC (although some of that reporting is dated--2015 press report?!?!--or biased for the PAC--what was CU's Cali enrollment before the move to the PAC?), but as UT points out, it will cost them more $$$$$.
    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

      - The mouth: Colorado has approximately 300,000 living alumni, according to the university. About 50 percent reside in Colorado, while the out-of-state alumni base tilts substantially to Northern and Southern California specifically and the West Coast generally.
      But nobody in California goes to football games anymore.

      Lots of P12 fans on twitter starting to explain why they don't need the Buffs. Coping strategy.

            Does the Big 12 want Colorado, or is this just about weakening the PAC?

            BYU, I think, should want Colorado so it has a neighbor. I'm not sure why anyone else in the conference would want Colorado.

              Denver is a big market. Seems pretty popular across the B12 fanbases. Also, should open the floodgates.

                I would think that hurting the Pac is low on the priority list. I think Colorado is a good add. Sure Coach Prime is catching eyes, but more importantly, it brings another MST team for Saturday late night games, a large metropolitan area, and a large alumni base. Could they be the Rutgers of the league? Sure, but they do have a storied history (including a national championship) and aren't necessarily a Northwestern or Vanderbilt.

                                If Colorado does move, it will be pretty tough on Utah since they'll no longer be in the same conference as their rival.
