since it's, you know, a university.

Mizzou didn't join the SEC for academic reasons, but it wasn't an academic *downgrade* either (in fact, it was a slight upgrade, even moreso now).

CU would go from associating with Cal & Stanford... to West Virginia and Oklahoma State... that's a tough decision for a *university* to make over, what, $8 mil/year for sports?... also, the Big 12 will be a tougher conference to compete in, so what good will a few extra million do?

It's a move of absolute last resort for CU, and I don't think they're "there" yet.
