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.

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? ;)

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.
