That I thought CSU was a more serious contender than anyone on CB was realizing. I have no idea if these theories hold water, but CBers shouldn't balk at CSU and here's why:

- Travel partner
- If they are looking at CSU, BYU is likely a lock (as opposed to them doing something stupid like adding Florida schools and going completely east)
- CSU is a team we could have a rivalry with at some point
- For now, CSU is a team we can beat (take off your blue goggles for a minute CBers and realize that our first few years in the Big 12 will be tough)
- There is no 4th option steep in football history and success; they are going to have to add someone based on upside
- CSU can likely get out of the MW faster and for less than AAC teams can exit, thus it's possible that BYU and CSU could be added for 2017 with AAC teams to follow in 2018
- Better CSU than freaking Memphis!
- CSU can easily overtake CU for Colorado market if in the Big 12 because as we all know, CU sucks!!
