It is like a utility connection fee.
Better than any other option that seems to be feasible at this point. Plus Wolverines and Buckeyes are occasionally in Palo Alto and Berkeley. How cool is that?
SC and UCLA leaving were the death knell for the PacX. If Oregon and UDub are also gone without Stanford, that is grave robbery.
We're not selling out for TV money; we are selling out for relevancy. And the money that comes with relevancy.
Washington State, Oregon State, Cal, Stanford and who exactly? Non Big-Game crowds of 10,000 maybe? Big Game all but dead in Conference Doldrums? No thanks.

How much does Stanford need another $5-$10M in TV money? In the big picture of things,
it seems like a small return for being a second class citizen in the Big 10.
There would likely be limitations on FB and BB games between the 4 latecomers and USC and UCLA
because much of the incremenental value of USC and UCLA is the games between them and the Midwest schools.
