This sounds like heresy, but it's possible the Pac-12 could stay at 12, and play a round-robin schedule with just one OOC game annually. 

I don't think there is any reason for 3 OOC games, and having 11 conference games will increase interest in the league among its fans, IMO. The question is how much interest will this league have for media rights holders?

The Pac-12 is in a HORRIBLE strategic position.  The Big Ten Network is on every basic TV package which gets it staggering revenue. And the SEC is going to get dominating Mouse Network coverage even more than it does now. The Pac-12 will get scraps.

There are so many ways for the "Fall of the NCAA" to unfold, it's like trying to build sand castles with totally dry sand. There is nothing to bind anything together right now, so it's impossible for anything to hold form, let alone have a solid foundation to build anything on.
