They're not in the same division right now

Right now it is slightly acceptable.

It is one thing to travel to Colorado. It is the other to travel to Kansas.

When PAC-XX grows to include three time zones, it has to be West-East.

East/West isn't possible either. With 14 teams that requires either the Cal schools to drop their mandate to play each other annually or for one of the northwest schools to be placed into the eastern division and neither of those would ever be approved.

At 16 while geographically it would work, in reality the mountain schools would simply veto expansion up front without a guarantee that they wouldn't be shipped off to the incoming Big-12 division.

There isn't many ways to make it work for PAC expansion.

Colorado and Utah got in and want to shut the door.

Thats why Scott never should have allowed CO and UT to vote on future expansion matters. They should have been granted full member status in all aspects but expansion. At least for 20 years, etc. They had no other avenues to go to so they would have been hard pressed to say no.
