Interest in the west about football wouldn’t seem to be an internal characteristic of the PAC-12 conference anymore than a drought is. It is an external factor. It affects the other conferences in the region. It may not be affecting other areas….yet.
Lack of interest affects TV viewer numbers which then affects TV contracts, which then affects the AD budget. It may or may not affect donor dollars linearly.
IMO, the other conferences should heed the distant thunder in the west. Circuses and Friday Night Fights were once popular too.
