So I'm not too concerned that MU or CU leaving would impact Texas' decision since at that point it is likely they would have already made their decision since they would have first choice.
TV markets are certainly important, but a program like Nebraska has a national fan base so in my opinion there is more value to NU than regional programs like MU and CU.

Actually word is the Pac 10 has already offered Colorado.
Colorado and Utah are the choices for now. I don't think the Pac 10 has gotten to the point where they are seriously considering going to 16 teams.
