I think we flatter ourselves if we think the PAC wouldn’t work without Stanford and Cal.  The PAC-12 probably can’t shrink below 10, but that kind of makes every school indispensable.

I don't think so at all. I'm not sure the Pac-12 can work without USC. Without USC, UCLA, and Stanford it would be completely pointless and pathetic. It would dissolve. Say everybody stays but Stanford - that's no championships, no nationally elite football sizzle and only a couple of even top 25 programs, and no LA. I think that's totally unviable economically and irrelevant to anybody outside the individual fan bases. That truly would be a conference on par with the Mountain West.
