Shouldn't Colorado and Arizona have left for the Big 12 by now if they were going to leave the Pac?

Assuming this does happen, that would leave 8 teams in the Pac, with the only ones having any real value being Oregon, Washington, Stanford, and Cal.

At that point, the Big Ten taking them to kill the Pac would make the most strategic sense.  

Of course, I have no idea how Cal and Stanford feel about having football teams outside the NCAA, as seems inevitable.

Maybe Cal and Stanford drop football and stay wedded to the NCAA in all other sports? But then, how do they - and especially Cal - fund those other sports without football money? Coming to Jesus moment rapidly approaching for these two schools.
