A couple of days ago I went to the store to get some seltzer. I came home with seltzer and some chocolate chip cookies. Good plan, imperfect execution.

So the B12 wants Colorado and UConn. Good plan. Who's easier. Probably UConn. Then we better lock down Colorado first.

B12: Hey Colorado... 
Colorado: Yeah?
B12: If we invite you, will you accept?

Now what? Colorado doesn't get a say?

Colorado: Maybe...
B12: What's bothering you?
Colorado: We're kind of buds with Arizona. Got a spot for them?

Back at the B12: We still want UConn but maybe we take Arizona first. Then we go after UConn and a different PAC.

According to the Arizona State guy, that's pretty much what happened, and pretty damn quick. PAC blood was definitely in the water then. Utah, too.

Back at the B12: We still want UConn.

Vs.

UConn was never wanted, they were just bait to get the PAC fish.

You really think Yormark had perfect enough information to orchestrate all that? Including the part where the B1G grabs Oregon and Washington?

Anyway, unless you have a smoking gun showing Yormark conniving, I'm going to have to go with the idea big stakes negotiations can be pretty fluid and things can move pretty fast.
