Seriously, if they are planning to take the six most valuable what would that be?

My guess:
  • Oregon
  • Stanford
  • California
  • Washington
  • Colorado
  • ASU
  • Utah
  • Arizona
  • Washington State
  • Oregon State

Maybe?
1. Oregon
2. Washington
3. Colorado
4. ASU
5. Utah
6. Stanford
7. Arizona
8. Cal
9.
10.
11.
12. San Diego St
13. Oregon St
14.
15. Washington St
.
For the Big 12, I don't think Stanford is a big get.  Maybe it should be, but I think they'd take the 4 of UU, CU,UA, ASU over any quartet including Cal and Stanford.

I figure the SEC, B1G, and Big12 all end up at 20 teams. 
Now that seems bloated and crazy and gross, but I think there's a decent postseason that can come from that.
.
3 super conferences can yield 6 teams, the top 2 of which would get a playoff bye. 
Each conference has 2 ten-team divisions, in which everyone plays everyone.  3 OOC games, or if we wanted, 3 interdivisional games, keeping each super conference isolated.  I think this would be a neat dynamic, as MLB was divided for so long, but is not necessary for this idea to work.
Anyway, that'd be 6 division champions.  The polls could still be involved, determining the top 2 teams in the country getting a bye.
The other 4 division-winners play in the playoff.
This is not something I've ever advocated before, as teams were not on equal footing.  But given this hypothetical, they all would be, and thus, a champs-only playoff makes sense.

The Big 12 is a real stickler for AAU status, are they?

I mean, didn't they already have this, with the Big Ten, until the Big Ten just decided to steal their LA teams?

I saw one headline about what a 32 team SEC would look like.  I didn't read it.  We all know more dominoes will fall, and some may not make much sense (to us).

Notre Dame may lobby to include Stanford

Stanford as we all know is solid in many other sports besides football - that is a bit attractive to the TV networks

Stanford would be a great add for numerous reasons.  Stanford and Notre Dame together would be a slam dunk.

Edit: I mean, within the context of believing further expansion is inevitable.

You just did.

Plus, you're giving him triple the budget, so he can REALLY mess things up!

Sounds a lot like the bailout the league gave Maryland and Rutgers.

Eh, without knowing his mission and the directives he received from his superiors I think it is unfair to call it "poor management".

Obviously if he was told to run the department with a balanced budget, he didn't. OTOH, if he was told to keep all sports and look for improved revenue, he did a GREAT job.
