I hate the idea of a regional conference comprised of select MWC schools, OSU, WSU, Stanford and Cal.  It would be nothing more than a gloried version of AAA minor league baseball.  The “good news” comment was directed to Mick who suggested, “everyone is going to decide that they hate the travel and like the regional rivalries”.  

Okay, let's assume that regional conference. Let's say those schools, for a variety of reasons, recruit really well, have excellent attendance, and NFL rosters are packed with alums from those schools, compared with other conferences. Even Stanford's games will be packed when Stanford goes 11-2.

How would you feel about it then?

No thanks.  Competing at the highest level the sport provides is what matters.  Beating Air Force, Wyoming and San Diego St. means nothing in the big picture.  

Stanford has proven they can compete successfully against the best.  I want to see the Cardinal continue to play the premier programs regardless where they are based.
