if I remember correctly Texas was getting pressured to take Baylor along.(at the expense of Colorado according to state of Texas) Colorado acted swiftly and joined the P10 instead of waiting to do as a group. Texas backed off and that left door open for Utah
But that report turns out to be inaccurate. That is what this story reveals. Oklahoma State and Texas Tech were not on the list Scott submitted.
Perhaps they got on that list from Oklahoma and even somebody with Texas, wanting more of their rivals. But I can see how that would be DOA with the Pac-10 Chancellors and Presidents. 5 Hell no votes locked in.
According to the Utah AD and president at the time. They are the ONLY ones who have said this. And they wouldn't know.
