Which would you prefer?

Which teams would you pick?

It's safe to assume that any expansion starts with San Diego State (Southern CA, major U.S. metro, enhances conference performance in both FB & MBB).

After that, it gets dicier.

What's your preference?
 
Personally, I would go to 9, send Wazzu to the WAC and spend their TV share on a weekend in Vegas. Absent that, I would stay at 10.
 
How do we know? If deal is there, expansion happens.

Media deal drives expansion.

10 is fine. Scheduling goes round robin. Top 2 teams face off for the championship. Easy.

If adding SDSU and.... Increase the revenue by a significant margin then sure. Just don't think they move the needle enough.

Agree with this. I would stand pat unless adding two more increased revenue.
 
I think SDSU adds value.

I like the balance of an even number, but don't really know that there's a great #12.
 
SDSU could play Oregon at home, the half time could be a nude hottie dance number, and the game could be followed by the return of Jesus and his apostles at midfield. Snapdragon Stadium (all 35,000 seats of it) still wouldn’t sell out nor would the S.D. TV area share numbers be very high.

Not a football town.

That is “must see” TV right there!
 
The number of teams does matter to revenue per team. Inventory matters, especially with a streaming model. So, whatever gets the most money per team. I just don't know who they could expand with that would truly move the needle outside of SDSU

It's not a question of adding value, I'm sure they do. It's a question of adding $25-30MM (or whatever the number ends up being), which I think is a big stretch.
 
I’d go with 12 and add SDSU and BYU. Those two by themselves won’t make up for the loss of USC and UCLA, but they’d probably be accretive. Having the UU/BYU game be a conference game would be a good thing. I am still a little baffled that the PAC hasn’t made a move for BYU before they officially join the B12

That's not ever been about sports. Blackballing BYU happened at the presidential level due to them not meeting peer standards on academic freedom.

I’m thinking priorities might have changed by now.

If we wanted to grab the 4 football teams in the west who are respected in the rest of the country and can make for a compelling broadcast: BYU, Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State.

I mean, if we're going to say "Fvck academics, this is about football" then that should be the Pac-14 going forward. I'd also consider filling the map and inviting both UNLV and New Mexico as non-football members.
