If the PAC-10/Big 12 south merger does fall through, I'd love to see the PAC-10 take a run at Colorado, Utah, BYU and UNLV. I know UNLV doesn't fit academically but... it's the Vegas media market and traditionally a good basketball team.

BYU isn't worth nearly enough in terms of revenue for the conference to put up with all of the cultural differences between BYU and the existing schools. Texas is worth enough that they're possibly willing to accept Baylor if it's required to get Texas, and Oklahoma's TV appeal trumps their lesser academic standing.
