There is no way the Pac 12 would ever consider Idaho or NMSU. They do not have the markets or academia to qualify to be in the Mountain West, much less the Pac 12. They are more likely going to be Independents or regulated to FCS if they are left out to dry.

Also, with all the conference swapping did you notice the Pac 12 stayed pretty quite other than Texas and Oklahoma? It is because if they bring in a team, it is going to be a one with a market and the ability to create revenue. The obvious choices for them if they ever do go to 16 will be Boise St., Fresno St., San Diego St., Nevada, and UNLV. That is if they do not take another stab at the Big 12 and make a play for a Oklahoma St.

I almost choked when you said Idaho and NMSU.
