I don't think CU paid a buy-in or had reduced shares of conference revenue at first like Utah did. They did have money taken out of their Pac-12 conference distributions because the Pac loaned CU money upfront to compensate for the revenue that the Big 12 withheld for CU's departure.
Same point, Colorado got a better deal than Utah because they were starting from a better place.
That's right. IIRC, CU also got that deal because they complained about their poor financial situation, which was their own doing, of course, just like Maryland, who similarly got help from the Big Ten in financing their ACC buyout.
