...now that they moved to the PAC-10? They will be the only school without a baseball team if they don't.

How can you be a major-conference university and not have a baseball team???

Off the top of my head:

Colorado (discontinued in mid 80's)
Iowa State (discontinued in 2001)

Oregon didn't have a baseball team from like 1981 until last year.

It was a rhetorical question, but I'm curious. Know why? To save money? Lack of interest? Lack of success?

for Colorado I know it was a Title IX issue.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was the same reason for Iowa State and Oregon, although every reason you listed probably also contributed to the discontinuation of the program.
