I still think some sort of merger with the ACC would get the presidents in line. You can retain what's left of the west coast rivalries and join forces with programs that make sense from culturally, academically and athletically.

They can do a scheduling alliance but if the ACC merges or adds teams it triggers options to opt out of their GoR which means Clemson, FSU, Miami and UNC are gone within minutes.
You could merge in that you only schedule A type games for OOC matchups against one another, also only play bowl games against one another. Something similar to the Big10/ACC basketball tournament. Maybe even hold some of those games at big neutral site events.
Yup, although not sure why you would have to have bowl matchups against one another. You could have a PAC/ACC playoff, possibly even a two game one (more money!) with the winner assured an invite to the natty playoffs.

Both ideas makes sense and that serves to underscore how sad the PAC12 has become.

Because hate and spite are a powerful drug.
