Not sure the purpose of this. A lot of fluff. Is she nervous about this or something playing out. Someone threatening to leave?. Was the grant of rights actually signed or simply a MOU.
I am less positive on her as time has progressed. I am concerned to what degree did a huge conflict of interest ( salaries and a future job security ) sway the thinking not only by her, but also by the Pac12 Commish.
It just seems that a merger was what should be happening. Less likely now with bringing on those other soon to be MWC schools.
