This all sucks. Every bit of it because of greedy, money grubbing schools. Fukkers.

I think that's a mischaracterization. SDSU is definitely a target; SMU maybe too. The other schools are at least being investigated, which to me is completely different than being targeted. Targeted implies a much higher level of interest than the Pac-10 appears to have on some of the lesser schools mentioned. I just can't ever see CU allowing CSU in the conference. That would requiring CU acknowledging CSU is their equal and a peer, which it will never to. CU will always see CSU as Colorado A&M, the ag school. Dennis Dodd continues to remain clueless, IMHO. I think Canzano has a pretty good handle on this, and he is being very circumspect and close to the vest and not making ridiculous assumptions/speculating like many other so-called experts. I think his sources are much better than most. |

I would rather see Air Force in the conference than CSU. Way more interesting and have their own fighter planes.

The two schools are nearly the exact same distance from each other as our two schools, and they already play each other every year. The only thing Colorado loses in the deal is their home field advantage every other year since most of the games have been in Boulder. It may even help the rivalry. I'm not so sure we can assume Colorado wouldn't "ever" let it happen. I bet they could work it out . |

In terms of prestige and academic rank, UW vs WSU would be a more apt comparison that UO vs OSU. If UW can tolerate WSU's presence, CU is obliged to do likewise toward CSU if the rest of the conference wants CSU in. You're right. Any petty in state rivalry or bias shouldn't get in the way of larger conference objectives.

Canzano IS the source of this story. It literally says that in linked story you are quoting www.johncanzano.com/p/canzano-pac-12-officially-exploring?utm_medium=email |

When commenting on Mr. Dodd, I was alluding to the CBS story linked by Emerald Empire. When this all shakes out, which it will, I suspect Mr. Dodd's credibility and accuracy will be seen as suspect. As for Colorado and CSU being compared to Oregon and us, or the Washington schools, it's a faulty comparison. As charter members of the conference that has morphed into the Pac-12, we were always on equal terms athletically with Oregon, from the moment the conference was founded. Same with UW and Wazzu. Not so with CU and CSU. CU has always been in a superior athletic conference than the Rams. |

The Big 12 recently renewed contact with four Pac-12 schools -- Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah -- as television contract negotiations for the Pac-12 continue to flounder, sources confirm to CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd. March will be a pivotal time for the Pac-12 to either deliver a new contract or risk losing key members of its league.

Over the years, he has tossed out stuff that proved to be untrue. He is definitely a guy that I will believe when I see. |

Of course the Big 12 is trying to poach the corner schools. Canzano on the other hand is. Maybe the 4th is Tulane. |
