I'm not sure on the GOR status of the Big XII but we need to show some signs of solidarity that will weaken the alliance of the remaining Pac-12 schools. There's no way the Pac-12 could proceed as a P5 with the additions of SDSU, Boise. So, the CU and AZ's of the world are trying to show strength now to show they can pluck off some Big XII schools. If we (Big XII) show that there will be no defections in writing, the Pac-12 has to feel threatened and we can pick some of them off.
