Guess they weren’t doing it right then
It shows (the PACs,demise) that this isn't a sport anymore...just a business model to make money for institutions of no longer learning.
The PaaC10 model was built on pure sport motives,and fair competition.
They were getting left out by Conference models built on pure profit and promotion (SEC-ESPN; Big10 by early expansion)....
So PAC10 expanded to 12, chasing dollars to survive and then imploded to jump ship to another Conference that had been chasing dollars since the 90s.

I've said it multiple times, they should have had a Northeast conference with Penn State, Pitt, Syracuse, West Virginia, Rutgers, Boston College and fill it in to 8 or 10. That should have existed from the start. Those schools had rivalries, and it would have been totally fine. Penn State gives you the blue blood benchmark, so whoever could beat them out would be seen as legit
Pitt has played some good football over the years, too.
