Boulder was (and is) way closer to the overall cultural vibe (whether in its politics, recreation, religion, etc) of the Pac compared to the Big 12. CU gets a lot of students from California as well. Made a lot of sense from that perspective to switch so that the likes of Berkeley and Seattle were their peers instead of Ames and Lubbock.

I wouldn't focus only on the college towns, because the decisionmakers and donors are not just people who live in town. The townspeople of Boulder don't get to decide on the university's athletic conference, just like the townspeople of Tallahassee weren't the ones deciding whether Florida State would join the SEC or ACC.
