Living in Arizona, I see a lot of teams in the PAC on TV, and a lot of times the stadiums look half full or even only a third full. Even sometimes when ranked teams play each other the stadiums look empty..Just not as much excitement for college football out here...There is way more enthusiasm for Professional sports...

There is a lot more outdoorsy adventure type stuff for people to do in the West also, and I think that takes away from viewership of sports in general on the weekends..

The most foolish thing they could do would be to add some of the Big 12 leftover schools, that will only accelerate the end of the Conference.

Tech, OKST, and TCU would be good for the PAC in my opinion. Everything from Abilene west is pretty much Tech Country and TCU gives you the D/FW market. Baylor and ISU, despite their fairly recent on-field success, don't really bring anything to the table financially.

I like Tech and Okie State, but don't think they bring anything financially either for the PAC. I don't know crap about TCU, but Tech and Okie State would barely be a culture fit for some of the schools in the PAC. All those schools in Cali and the west coast would probably try their best to change their traditions, no more guns up for Tech, no more Red Raider, no more paddles for Okie State, etc. All too offensive for the progressives in Cali..They would be treated like unliked step children in that conference and just used to fill stadiums because the PAC team's fans don't normally travel well...
