on this point everything I've read suggests that the B1G prioritized the Pac's socal schools and then Oregon/UW

Umm... No disagreement about USC/UCLA, but what I read about that latest change is that the B1G presidents wanted Stanford (and to a lesser extent Cal), but Fox wanted Oregon. 

Fox has been a serious villain in this business, and I'm hoping that there's something actionable.  They have pulled levers behind the scenes to destabilize the situation.  As Wilner says in one of his articles, they were the outside entity that is most to blame for the collapse of the Pac.
