Well luckily the Big West isn't where they would be putting their sports. The WAC is, who if you add certain MW schools would be an equal or better basketball league and roughly the same travel. You get SoCal and Pheonix for recruiting plus your normal stomping grounds.
You take BYU, CSU, AFA and add them to the WAC and that's a pretty solid all conference at 10, lure Denver in and you get a nice compact western conference with good sports and solid markets plus the 20 game full round robin.
Not sure BYU would leave the WCC and high school gyms but they might.
Yeah, no.
