Quick Post: I kind of like this whole Pac-12 thing

In case you haven't noticed, being in the Pac-12 is totally badass. 

Earlier this year we found out exactly how much cash was being thrown CU's way as a result of the move.  Additionally, because the Pac-12 is a bunch of media savants, we've seen Jon Embree all over ESPN the last 24 hours.  Now we find out that CU will not only have a stake in a new Pac-12 television network, but that they will also share a regional affiliate with mountain time zone partner Utah.

How the hell did CU get so lucky?  It's only been a few weeks as official members of the Pac-12, yet it's already 20 times better than where the Buffs were.  Just imagine, Buff Nation could be screaming at the tide over just how much Texas would be allowed to screw us for the privilege of being in their company.

This whole thing is like breaking up with an abusive girlfriend, who never really liked us anyway, only to wind up with a caring supermodel.  This shit is awesome!  Are there bronze statuettes of Larry Scott available online somewhere?  I'd like to have a graven imagine of this genius to sacrifice goats and such to on a daily basis.
