What’s the value of the market for just about the entire west and west coast college football. Negotiate it not as an individual market but basically an entire region.
You would basically have the entire TV markets of the following states: Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona, Hawaii, and New Mexico. You would be splitting the mark…

America is built on monopolies, the PMWC would just about a complete physical monopoly on all CFB in the west. They would also control any and all OOC games so they would be able to dictate which non PMWC programs get exposure to the west.
At the same time your hopefully eroding ucla and usc so when the TV deals come back up for renewal you have weakened the Big10 and strengthened the PMWC position.
Being from the Central Valley, I would like to point out that, despite being more sparsely populated, the Central Valley is more interested in and dedicated to traditional sports and has a gross population that makes a much more involved and loyal fanbase than most urban contrasts. Even FSU rival alum in The Valley would rally for FSU as matter of regional pride. Everyone there knows or is connected to a FSU grad.
I think North and South Dakota State should be added as well. They have been giving teams a hard time for years now. If they get up to 24 teams, the top 8, middle 8, and bottom 8 can play each other in 7 conference games. get up to 9 by playing one of each depending on where they place in those divisions.
Crazy, crazy, I know. But I think crazy ideas are needed in order to survive.
Fuck it! Why not! I actually think this idea of 24 and splitting into 3 tiered regulated leagues is a good one.
Then we could even have a reverse Ted Lasso show for Apple TV where an out of his element and washed up British football coach comes to the US to coach a down on their luck New Mexico squad that has been regulated in the PMWC.
On a serious note, if we can't get the big markets or whatever, then we need the quality football. The product on the field must at least be as good as the XII. I think that is possible for certain. With an entertaining product, we can take less now, and bet on the future.
The USC-UCLA hold on the Los Angeles TV market has to be eaten away for this to work. The numbers don't favor the West against the other regions of the US (only 80 million people total) against the other regions (South has about 125 million and North+Midwest has 125 million).
A PAC-MW fusion that locks out other conferences for non-conference games with a relegation system would be interesting though. Too bad it won't happen.
Absolutely you would need to cut into the LA market and it could work, especially if usc and ucla struggle and more people start to watch the Rams and Chargers.

Nevada as well
I knew I forgot someone, yes Nevada as well.
Even in states that we don’t control the whole market, the PMWC would have more teams represented in each state:
Utah: UU, USU vs BYU
Colorado: CSU, Air Force vs Colorado
California: Cal, SDSU, SJSU, FSU, vs USC, UCLA
People like to say demographics is destiny, well the number of students and future alumni would dwarf that of the rival in state schools.

Yes, the "pan et circi" factor. Make it entertaining; let a champion emerge.
So tired of Tommy Trojan being our "Champion."
What problem?

We can call it Avery Smith.
It would be nice if it were all real.

Here's a crazy idea.
To get back the L.A. market, we sponsor football programs at U.C. Irvine, Riverside, Northridge, C.S.U.L.A., and Long Beach State.
Too much? ;)
LMU and Pepperdine too! Get that private school money involved

No one cares about the Chargers anymore
*Throws away San Diego Supercharger song.
RIP Chargers
