That's what I take from that. If Texas is the big prize, why else would Colorado be the first to get an offer?

I think Texas is still the big prize, but the Pac10 wanted to eliminate the idea Baylor was an option right away. As has been talked about earlier, they don't want a religious based school. I was worried Texas would be able to pressure the Pac 10 to taking Baylor anyway, it looks like that was misguided.
It may also be the Longhorns way of making the Pac10 office out to be the bad guy. Offer CU first, then we'll have to react. They can then tell everyone that sure, they would have loved Baylor to come with them, but the Pac10 had already made their decision and that was that.
