Never is a long time. For the PAC schools, it could mean their conference remaining as is for the foreseeable future. That may be acceptable for some of them, but others may like the idea of being a member of the strongest conference on the field, which is also more profitable than the one they are in now. And, if they could all move without having to give up a single rivalry game in the process, that might not look so bad.

Now, I am making an assumption here with which you may not agree. I am assuming that the PAC will never be able to attract Texas and Oklahoma, which means there is no combination of other programs the PAC might add which would make it stronger, on the field or financially. If the status quo is acceptable long term to all 12 current PAC members, then you are probably right. I'm not sure it is.
