I don't think it is at all. The most intriguing program in that conference is Houston and they haven't played a single Big 12 game yet. To keep the Pac together you may have to give Oregon and Washington the Boise State treatment and pay them higher media rights to stay. And what kind of mediocre media deal would the Pac whatever even be able to put together even with those two schools? All the money us in the SEC and Big 10...and every school in the country will jump at their first opportunity to join either one. Baylor, Oklahoma State, and Kansas aren't intriguing? Baylor is one of the best universities in the country, Oklahoma State has T. Boone Pickens and some great alumni, and Kansas has basketball. Yeah, Baylor has great sports history-when its coaches aren’t facilitating murder and allowing rape.

I'd rather have SDSU and Boise State. Doesn't matter...Oregon State isn't ever going to be in a conference with those teams.

Ive been thinking about this a lot (too much) and one of my observations is that for the best TV deal it seems like the more schools the better. And for the best conference 10 or 12 seems like the right number. Even at 16, when you play your biggest rivals yearly, you may play at a particular place once every six years? Is the solution to form a real alliance (where you sign a contract) for a TV deal but only play within your conference?
