The Athletes and then the Coaches should be the ones making the decision(s) since they are most impacted.

However, the constraints on the decision are laid by the financial and political realities of what is possible, and neither the coaches nor the athletes control, or are even aware, of those. As of now, I don't think anybody knows what is even possible, and what is possible/wise today may not be in a week.

Some schools have, or think they have, a "clear" path forward. Arizona thinks it needs to go to the Big-12 and do it right now. They seem to have no other choice. Oregon seems to be in the "B1G or bust" mode, but they will remain in the PAC-0 until that happens. They really don't have any other option. WSU, OSU, Cal and Stanford can talk to the B1G and/or the Big-12, but they aren't the first choice and nothing is going to happen "soon". None of these schools really has much ability to affect their futures. It will more happen to them than because of them. That is just a fact, I'm afraid. Who knows what ASU is "thinking"?
