First both schools share the same regents. If the PAC’s situation is so dire it threatens ASU’s athletic budget and ability to repay stadium debt, there will be tremendous public and booster pressure to go. Second, if Oregon and Washington leave for the B1G right after CU and Arizona go to the Big 12, that all but destroys the PAC TV negotiations with little time on the clock.

At a certain point Crow’s obtuseness could threaten his job if the financial health of ASU is threatened.
