So from a viewership perspective losing UCLA doesnt appear that bad when you look at the tv numbers in the PAC. Basically the PAC lost the number 1 and 5 most watched teams in the conf whereas the B12 lost 1 & 2. That said losing LA is going to hurt and I still think both conferences will have comparable tv deals.

Losing LA is going to hurt, especially if the PAC doesn't replace USC or UCLA.

It may be that both conference will have comparable TV deals, but it seems to me that, with Cincy, UCF, Houston, and BYU coming aboard, the Big XII is going to be a much stronger conference with greater viewership potential than a "PAC-10" would be.

The Big XII probably made a wise move by adding those four schools, and the PAC would be well advised to consider doing the same. In view of the fact that the SEC and Big Ten are about to become 16-team conferences, the time may have come for the PAC to expand, as well.

It would not surprise me at all if 2 contracts from now the B12 has a better payout, even if most of the current PAC10 remains.
