No. I'm thinking most of it has to do with the TV contracts. The Pac 10 is about to sign a new one from what I understand, and Texas can manipulate the Pac 10 for more money than the SEC could give them.
just not true, while the pac-10 might match what the sec currently gives out, if you add UT and any 3 other teams ESPN and CBS will throw money at the SEC in a renegotiated deal. i'd bet CBS would always have 2 games on Saturday.

with USC down, Californians will not give two shits about college football...especially watching a Texas / Texas Tech football game...even if they are in the Pac whatever.
This.
I lived in San Diego for 5 years. A good percentage of the USC fans couldn't name every school in the Pac-10. It's rare to see more than 60% attendance at Padres games and the Chargers have flirted with relocation when I was living there. There is just way too many things for southern Californians to do than to follow sports, especially what's going on in Texas.

You have to have a product as well as a market. TV networks are really only paying for the big games.
I'm not sure bout that after watching a little ND football in the past decade or so.

Can't be. The PAC-16 is speculating that they will make $20M per team, up from $9.7M per team now. That's a big jump, and I don't see it. (SEC is at $17M per team, Big-10 is at $13.4M, and the west coast audience is much less interested). Plus, they think they'll get a PAC-10 network that will perform like the Big-10 network and bring in $72M ($4.5M per team), which I'll also believe when I see it. That's $24M per team. A more realistic estimate is probably $17M
The SEC expects it's TV deal will go from $17M per team to $20M-$25M per team, and on top UT will be able to have it's own PPV network which should be comparable to UF, which apparently brings in $10M per year. I would think UT should be comparable to this. So...
PAC-16: $17M-$24M per team
SEC-16: $30M-$35M
To match the money the SEC will pay out UT will have to rape the other schools in the PAC-16 distribution... Which will make the PAC-16 the next league to collapse.

TX's "local" revenue is already comparable to Florida without PPV....
Adding PPV would add another $10m or so to their coffers.

The point remains. There's more money in the SEC.

No, it's not. SEC contract is yesterday's news. The next contract by a major conference will surpass it.
