Your explanation above is why for having balanced leagues among college football it is best if the Big 12 & PAC 12 merge.

It was not the best option for Texas & OU individually to go to the PAC 12 at least with only 4 teams. Merging or going with 5 to 7 other teams makes the move a lot better situation because they maintain more games in CST zone, and they should be able to limit the number of west coast games to at most 2X per year and they could put in requirements those games start by 7:30 CST.

Maybe even this helps us get to 4 equal leagues and the leagues negotiate their product as 1 for tv revenues and the expanded playoff within conferences to replace the bowl system for the 4 participants in the CFP.
