Expiring TV contracts started the nation's collegiate athletic conferences talking about the process of deciding who will play where.
Most of the attention is on the Big 12 (CU's home), the Pac-10 (a new home, perhaps, for the Buffaloes) and the Mountain West.
I'm not the biggest fan of CU in the world. But if they are trying to bolster their football and basketball teams (the two main revenue sports that draw the attention of the TV deal writers), the Pac-10 isn't the place to do it.
CU doesn't have the facilities that a lot of schools have. They don't recruit in-state particularly well. And their teams don't compete against the likes of Texas very well. I'm hard-pressed to see how they would compete against USC or UCLA.
CU may not have a choice. And CU may be stuck in permanent moribund status for quite some time when this finishes making its way through the collegiate sifter
