You are forgetting something, these are student athletes, you are potentially adding 4 more games to their schedule for no "increase in pay" and a greater increase in injury. On top of the NCAA already allowing teams to play like 15 games a year with a lot of travel. Just look at Fresno State's travel distance and schedule pretty much the past 2 years.
They have to study for finals, probably why the bowls start so late, these guys aren't just here to entertain you. Although it can't be said for all teams.
Plus, leave the PAC-10 the way it is, it leaves room for traditional and new rivals to meet each year instead of these weird (IMO) regional things.
