This guy thinks cherry picking is more likely than merger.

So their opinion is the PAC? Is more valuable than the MW, but they have no way to quantify that. I would say if the PAC was still in tact likely true, with it only OSU and WSU, I’m not convinced that’s true.

I think it's what has more value:
1) joining mwc (or reverse merger) where all 14 teams are together.
2) 9 or 10 mwc teams + pac 2 in the pac
3) rebuilt pac with some mwc teams and other teams.

Naturally this is impossible to predict until the scope of the landscape clears. Will other power leagues go down leaving other stragglers? Will big and sec split leaving reorganization below (if this happens I think odds are on a cherry picked rebuilt pac)? Will all remaining p4 conferences split?

Way too many variables over the next few years to know what the end result will be.
