You begin to wonder whether Colorado would be more open to Big 10 membership as we get close to the GoR's expiring.

At some point self preservation has to take precedence over simply desiring a West Coast presence.

The Big Ten and the BTN could make a fortune off of subscribtion fees if they add a few PAC schools from the right states. If there is ever a want or need for a set of schools to evaluate realignment, the PAC schools are at that point. Not the Big 12. Not the ACC. The PAC.

Well, we're already technically in the Mountain Time Zone with a chunk of Nebraska. So Colorado would be an acceptable add. The question is do we add another school in that time zone or see if something opens up in CA or back East. Colorado and Oklahoma is something that the conference might swing for, to create a more familiar neighborhood for Nebraska.

However, my better idea would be Colorado and Utah to B1G, Kansas and Oklahoma to SEC and Texas & friends to PAC (possibly elevating Colorado State or New Mexico by necessity).
