Don't be so sure of that, If Oregon State and Washington State
could have gone to the B12 a year before the PAC disintegrated. They stuck it out with the bigger brands in the PAC - why? At the time, reports were that the PAC would get a good contract, and all would be good - they were strung along.
Looking at Pitt, Cuse, Duke - just to name a few, are watching this very closely, and none of them want to the the next OSU and Washington State.
So when you say "no one" with 1/2 of the conference trying to leave, and you have article after article saying you do not make the cut for the BIG or SEC - they may not even look back as they go for stability, a premier basketball conference, and a WAY underestimated football conference.
