To add on to this, I think both the MWC and Pac12 need this to work or else both conferences will be regulated to G5 and second or third class program status. They will become a de facto farm league to the Big10/SEC/Big12/ACC where underrated 3* players will develop for a few years and then transfer out. It would be a complete athletic drain.
Really all west coast and western football is facing an existential crisis if the Pac12 collapses. Sure the 4 and 5 stars could still go to USC/UCLA or elsewhere but some of those kids actually want to stay home and play closer to home so that their friends and family can watch them play locally or easily drive or take a quick flight to an away game. West coast and western HSFB be heavily impacted.
Having only usc and ucla as the only P5 programs in the entire west coast and west isn’t a sustainable model and will negatively impact all of CFB as a whole.
