WYO, and UNM. Eyeballs are never going to follow those programs in the ways that will bring significant dollars. Air Force has the added benefit of an entire military branch behind it. UNLV has the most significant metro area that is becoming saturated with pro teams.

The four teams taken have a chance to capture viewers in a best of the rest conference under the Pac umbrella. I expect them to land on 9 teams so that the per team payout is maximized along with a balanced 8 game conference schedule with 4 OOC games in football. 8 schools might up the per team payout, but it would also make scheduling tough in finding 5 OOC contests a year when the P4 are mainly playing with each other (9 times in the ACC/SEC and 10 times in the Big 12/B1G). I have to think that getting another conference game rather than an OOC matchup against the MAC or Sun Belt is going to improve your TV dollars.
