the Big12 will end up being the acquirer and the PAC being the one to die. The PAC has too much pride and leftism to make a good business decision. Stanford and Cal wield too much influence in the decision making that will prevent them from surviving. This is why the Big12 is going after ASU, UA, UU, and CU to deal a body blow to the PAC, and cause UO/UW to cut ties with Stanford and Cal.
