CU leaving had nothing to do with itchy feet or jumping the gun, this has apparently been in the works for awhile.

It is, they jumped before conference talks could take place, they wanted the jump on aTm.
MU wanted B10 to get away from Texas. MU growled, got played.
CU jumped >>>>>>
NU showed their discontent with UT ..... They jumped ... C Ya >>>>>>>
Texas played it cool, had no reason to jump at once.
Got a better contract as everybody is the bride at UT's wedding.
Pac 10 will blow up, CU will be a cupcake for years in the Pac 10, USC is / will be down for years, The Ducks will rule, Yeah! Go Ducks.
AZ & AZ St could bolt later. It's a real scenario.
