Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

This is going the opposite direction but I have always thought that the PAC should add Hawaii.  It may sound silly but they are in the middle of the Pacific and, more importantly, everybody who plays there gets an extra game (per current NCAA rules).  I think the extra game would make up for the added travel costs and this might make sense.  

I will say, if Texas and OU wait too long on their sinking ship, the SEC and B10 will go ahead and invite the Pitt/UNC/UVA/VT/NCST/OKST/KU's of the world and the Sooners/Horns are going to be left holding their d---ks in their hands.

I kinda doubt it.  They are big enough and bring enough $$$ to the table that they'll almost certainly find a soft landing somewhere.  It might be in the PAC or in the conference that we envision being created out of the remnants of the ACC and B12 after SEC/B1G raiding but they'll find something.

If those schools start going east, TX/OU can without any difficulty find a home in the PAC. Sure, it doesn't make quite the geographic sense that you'd like, but the PAC isn't going to turn them down. 

Right, but they'd have none of their neighbors to play with anymore.  Awkward.  

WVU makes it work

I was on a flight back from Hawaii with the Mew Mexico State lady's soccer team.  They were quite attractive, but I was thinking about that long flight to LA (about 6 hours) and the disruption to their "college work".

That's what you were thinking about? 

I thought what was very note worthy, and got glossed over was when Delany was asked more or less regrets about Maryland/Rutgers because of their competitiveness level, and rather than even try to defend Rutgers.  He basically said "don't lump them together, Maryland has been fine."  He's right, Maryland has been very good in basketball and the Olympic sports.  It's only a football-only view (which isn't totally irrational because football is the only SPORT driving any of these moves) but it's the wrong view.
I don't know where you pulled Rutgers being as good as average or slightly below average at basketball from.  You mean women's basketball?  I think they were ok at women's basketball for a little while.  Because they have been awful at men's basketball.  They haven't made the NCAA Tourney since 1991.  They haven't won a tourney game since 1983.  They haven't even been to the NIT since 2006.  They have a 9-65 Big Ten record over their 4+ years in the league, and have never finished anywhere but 14th.  I would argue their football program has actually been SLIGHTLY better than their men's basketball program.  They at least have a (Big East) conference title as recently as 2012, and went to bowls 9 of 10 years from 2005 through 2014, which includes their first Big Ten season.  Their 7-36 conference record (.163) is actually slightly better than it is in basketball (.122)

Per Kenpom, Rutgers is currently 97th out of 353 in basketball. Doesn't that make them relative all-stars on campus?
