B1G doesn't really see the value Cal or Stanford bring to the table, IMHO.

Cal and Stanford would discontinue athletics before they ever dropped to the MWC. They would commit suicide before having to share a conference with Fresno State.
I think the Big 10 wants Cal and Stanford because the university presidents would make them. There is room for those two schools in the 24 or 32 team conference model. Which is the ultimate endgame.
Washington State and Oregon State are out of luck.
