That may have started the process sooner but even if BYU was added, I am not sure it would have survived. Big 10 wanted the two LA schools and had been wooing them and went hard. The rest of the dominoes fell thereafter.

Reportedly what really killed the PAC 12 conference was lack of financially favorable TV contracts. While conferences like SEC BIG10 and ACC had their own networks widely distributed the PAC 12 Commissioner demanded their network be carried on tiers that was unacceptable to most TV carriers such as Directv and major Cable companies. They also got less money from the ESPNs of the world mainly because of unfavorable time slots ie. Very late night games. Money rules.
Don't know how things would have evolved, but BYU has a huge following throughout the west. They should have been added with Utah, not Colorado. They have their own TV network.

Any other school, I'm not afraid of him individually because he seemed to have plateaued. But at UConn he could be deadly in that offense.

Unfortunately, #5 may not be enough to get in the NCAA.
We only get in if we are ranked to end the season.

I might have undershot how good Uconn is going to be this year. I said they will be better than last years team. I am upping it to they will be waay better than last years team.
You said this before, and I don't agree. Seton Hall was unranked last year, and they would have been in if there had not been 5 bid stealers last year. 5 bid stealers is a lot (I think there had been a total of 2 the previous 3 years).
Throw in new metrics being used, and an extra at-large spot, and things will be different this year.
