CU is not the lynch pin in all of this, but I can tell you there is pretty much NOTHING the Big12 could do to keep CU if the Pac10 ever offered. CU isn't a powerhouse in anything at this point, so your not making revenue concessions for them.
If CU had an invite from the Pac10 in 2000 with a simple promise of equal revenue to what they had in the Big 12, they'd have flown the coop.
It would have been ironic (and kind of funny, even for us CU fans) if Texas had been able to drag Baylor along and dump CU. (that could still happen, but it's looking less and less likely) CU's been waiting for this move for a long, long time. If they truly have an official offer in hand, they will be taking it and there is nothing the Big 12 could have ever done about it.
