Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 5355577, member: 71"] It was hardly a secret that the B1G would at some point add Washington and Oregon. Most speculation had that happening closer to 2030. Once some of the four corner schools departures appear likely, UW & OU negotiated a lower payout (50% I believe) to join the B1G early. Colorado jumped to the B-12 well before the other three that ended up there. The B-12 was publicly offering the other three and as Kliavkoff was getting nowhere with negotiating a new media contract, the three (Utah, Arizona, Arizona St) left what they saw as a sinking ship. From what I remember, Arizona would have greatly preferred remain the PAC if it could maintain a P level stature but that didn't appear likely the way things were shaking out. [/QUOTE]
