In the Bay Area, there are just way too many sports entertaining options.

We got the following,:

SF Giants
SF 49ers
Warriors
San Jose Sharks
San Jose Earthquakes
Oakland A's (soon to be Las Vegas)

For colleges, we got:

Stanford
Santa Clara University
USF
San José State
UC Berkeley
San Mary's

We also got great weather so people are out all the time doing outdoor stuff.

People only care to watch college football when they have time.  Most Stanford and UC Berkeley fans are fair weather fans.  Half of them don't even know their schools are playing most of the time.

Then there is that academic elitism.  I can't picture these school alums hanging out with alums of OKST, Baylor, BYU, Cincy, and just about all the B12 schools.  The only one they might stomach might be Kansas.

If PAC-12 is smart, they should have added SDSU, Boise ST, UNLV, and SMU. They also got other options like Fresno St, Colorado State, and even Hawaii.  Those snobby presidents just won't pull the trigger though.

This conference reminds of the old Big East to a certain extend.  They just react vs. doing whatever is necessary to survive.
