And for the SEC? Do you invite Mississippi and Miss State along with Vanderbilt to go? Then who can you add as #16, the Pokes (they do have the revenue to survive) ?

Actually nobody is let go. Both simply move to 18. Iowa State, Kansas, Texas Tech and Houston to the PAC to make 16. The new Big 12 is then reconstituted and also stands at 18.

Boston College, Connecticut, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, West Virginia

Georgia Tech, Miami, Louisville, N.C. State, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest

Baylor, Brigham Young, Colorado State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech

The brands move to new associations. The PAC expands into Texas and picks up the two remaining P5 AAU. And the best of the G5 find their way into an 18 member Big 12 that is geographically balanced. 70 are in, nobody is left out and realignment is over. The PAC has the option to add two more later if they desire to do so.

BTW: The PAC groupings work well.

Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State
California, U.C.L.A., U.S.C., Stanford
Arizona, Arizona State, Houston, Texas Tech
Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas, Utah

Nah! 18 just won't work, besides you are taking the dregs of the SEC and the B1G and pushing them further down the ladder of success. The only reason for them to remain is to be the cannon fodder for the rest of the conference(s). Because by your definition only the highest dollar schools can compete and add value and because of that those schools have to go. But, how can you explain Ole Miss and their recent success? Is it an anomaly? Maybe money (or more to the point, budgets) is not the determining factor of success, if it were Texas would be the champion every year.
The concept of only three conferences (or only two for that matter) just won't work for college athletics at this time, and NOBODY (not even the B1G or the SEC) is ready or willing to go beyond 16 now.
I can not see any school being demoted from the P5, and I don't see any of those schools willingly dropping down and giving up money and prestige. That hodgepodge conference you put together is just that; a hodgepodge and there aren't enough really strong brands to be it's standard bearer.
Keep working JR, you will find the solution, but right now you are on the wrong track.04-cheers
