That is one fair reading of the public discussion by from CSU and AFA ... the CSU AD in particular could be interpreted as defending the idea of talking to the AAC without supporting the idea of only the AFA and CSU moving, both in stressing the fact that UC, UCF and Houston were still in the AAC at the time he first reached out (after UConn left) ... and then framing it in terms of SDSU, Boise State, CSU and AFA all moving, which allows him to wriggle out of having to answer whether he was supporting or opposing a move ... since if the move he was "assessing" was a four-way move, and then SDSU and Boise State refused to move, he was never out into a position of having to make a final decision on the four-way move.
