If this comes to pass (which it probably won't because Cal and Stanford will be in the ACC), then some of those presidents will complain and then take the money and expand.

That's the issue -- there isn't enough additional money to make them want to expand. Unlike the ACC they aren't asking schools to take half share or zero shares because they want harmony throughout the league. But bringing in the Pac 4 doesn't up the 'per school revenue' and would lower the overall payout per school because it'll be split between more schools. You don't do that for schools that aren't a great fit in the first place. Even if Yormark wanted to do it, their presidents are the ones who have to agree to it.
