It'd be good for those particular conferences (PAC 10, etc) and the teams in it, to be a "Super Conference" like that.
It'd be bad for everyone else, IMO. It's bad for parity overall.
College sports have been ruined anyways, though. The money has ruined it. When College coaches are the highest paid public employee in a state, something has gone wrong! Ultimately, these are schools, not pro minor league sports enterprises. It's now all about recruiting, cheating, bending the rules, slipping the top athletes cash and other benefits, catering to players who treat their one year in college as their pro draft proving ground, etc.
It wasn't that long ago that Duke had NEVER had a player leave early for the NBA. Other top schools did pretty well in that regard too. Not anymore.
