No chance of that. The ever-growing anti-Larry crowd wants better financial discipline and better management, not 8 conference games. The 4 PNW schools already complain that they don't get enough football games against the LA schools, and CU and UU somehow think they have an absolute right to play the LA schools every year for the rest of eternity, even though they've only been in the conference for about 15 minutes. There will never be enough votes for an 8 game schedule that gives those schools even fewer opportunities to have football games vs. USC and UCLA.
One of Scott's biggest mistakes was given Colorado and Utah full voting rights on matters such as realignment. They should both be happy to be included in the P5 instead of standing in the way of progress and the betterment of the conference as a whole. No way the 2 of them ever vote to realign, reschedule, or expand to the betterment of the other 10 teams.
The SEC did it right. They told Missouri, you're going to be in the east division -- if you want to be in the SEC.

RE: UNC/Wake Non-Conference Series
The SEC East has worked out well for Missouri - aside from Florida, it is effectively the SEC North. Missouri gets Arkansas as a cross-division rival every year anyway, so other than Ole Miss they are playing the northernmost half of the conference.
The Pac 10 had no leverage on Colorado since Colorado was already in a P5 conference. Utah probably wouldn’t have raised a stink, but the Pac 12 added them to box in the Big 12 candidates - and ultimately box them out of the Pac 10/12/16.
