I am faarrr from an insider but just trying to read between the lines. It appears that Riley might not have been consulted about the sec move or at the least his opinion was ignored on the subject. He knew they were lowering him into a snake pit and then would not back him on the resources needed to cheat and compete in the new conference. If this move was sprung on him like it was others did he just say “well two can play that game” and proceeded to plot this exit.
If so, I actually may have a little respect for him now.
