I'm not going to bash Baylor here. They are a good school and they have better sports programs than Colorado right now. (and maybe for the future as well)
But Colorado has been flirting with the PAC 10 for years now. And "quality" of sports isn't the determining factor here. CU has a bigger TV market, a better overall academic program and more recognition.
Despite sucking hard the last five years, CU football still gets 5 to 7 national TV dates a year and is watched heavily.
One more huge advantage CU has on Baylor is the number of alumni in California. There are between 40,000 to 50,000 CU alums in CA right now and more growing by the day. There are also a ridiculous amount of CA transplants in Colorado. CU makes more sense than Baylor. I agree with Bug, if all of this stuff blows up and you only see one or two minor moves happen, one of them will be CU moving to the PAC 10. This is something that's been planned on for a long while.
