The PAC 10 is not likely going to expand, and the NCAA will likely cave and allow the Pac 10 to have their football game with 10 teams. The PAC 10 has rules saying they can not expand without a unanimous vote, and they have at least 1 school against any expansion.
There would be some awful long road trips if the Big 12/Pac-10 became one conference....Lawrence to LA, Austin to Seattle, Eugene to Ames...we are talking about 3 times zones! I just don't see it.

Columbia to Happy Valley or Lincoln to Ann Arbor make more sense.
