Oregon and Washington go to the B1G. And Arizona, Arizona St, Utah and Colorado go to the Big-12 and SMU and SDSU join the Pac-12. What happens to the exit fees? Will the Pac-12 need two more teams to remain a conference? or is the Pac-12 simply dead?, in which case would SMU and SDSU be better off staying where they are now?
I don't believe your hypothetical is at all likely. But within it, SMU remains aligned with SDSU, Stanford, Cal, Wash St and Oregon St. and those together can pluck from the MWC and western AAC. It shouldn't take too much looking at Charlotte and UAB and even Rice (from the perspective of choosing not to really invest in big-time sports) to realize that yours is not a close call.
