Reportedly, Folt had also been actively agitating for several years for U$C to get a larger share of Pac-12 media money, so while she may not have been directly party to the B1G machinations, she has been motivated in seeking to increase U$C's media rights revenue from basically day one of her tenure, and I would honestly be fairly surprised if she wasn't at least being kept apprised of B1G-facing developments in the months leading up to last summer.

I share your belief that she was looking to get more money out of football. I believe the people negotiating with the B1G had marching orders and knew the parameters. I doubt she was kept apprised of the developments because secrecy was a paramount concern for all involved. So was deniability if the effort blew up. She had no need to know until a deal meeting their marching orders was in hand.
