I think selling the addition of the LA market goes down a lot easier for existing Big 10 members than adding UW and Oregon (or Stanford and Kal) to further dilute those TV revenues.

Plus, then they'd be outright killing the Pac, while this can be spun as more of a grave wound.

Maybe over the longterm the Big 10 adds more schools, but I suspect they are done for now (unless ND wants to join).
