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.

The Pac-1X may survive and be the best place for the remaining schools even if Stanford and Cal leave for the B1G, which I believe makes the most sense, as it would reunite the California schools and allow all B1G schools a yearly trip to California.

Without the California schools to object, the Pac expansion options grow, even to Big 12 schools.

If the B1G takes Oregon and Washington, then there would be a mass exodus, more than likely.

Some interesting tweets regarding the situation: college football fan on Twitter: "Information on Stanford and it's connection to California too. 1: Stanford's president has a long and prestigous career in academic research, high level academics, and more. 2: California's president was the president at Ohio State." / Twitter
