Colorado (and Texas) both turned down invitations from the Pac 10 back in the 90's before the Big XII was formed. CU leaving for the Pac 10 has always been a "when" not an "if," and only 2 firm Pac 10 invitations went out in this whole process, CU and Texas. The rest of the Big XII South's invitations were conditioned on Texas accepting their invitation.
CU leaving had nothing to do with itchy feet or jumping the gun, this has apparently been in the works for awhile.
