Colorado (43-23-6) needed overtime in one matchup, a third-period game-winner in another and seven shootout rounds on Sunday.

The university presidents who run the conference have no choice — none, zero, zip — but to invite the Aztecs.That’s probably a good thing for the Pac-12 considering the barrage of bad decisions at the presidential level over the past 10 or 12 years.Remember the time they approved a television network with six regional feeds and declared the commissioner a media executive?Or the time they passed on ESPN’s offer to take over the Pac-12 Networks in exchange for a long-term media rights partnership?In a formal sense, any decision on San Diego State remains in the presidents’ hands — eight of the 10 remaining schools must approve membership additions. (And to be fair, many of the presidents responsible for past blunders are no longer...
