I think you are right on PSU and OHSU, even though PSU is resisting (and you can see why--there are lots of examples of friction between major medical centers and attached universities--the medical centers are so important and bring in so much money that they often dominate the institution).
The unfortunate thing that will never get fixed is having two flagship state universities located a) within an hour of one another and b) two hours away from the state's largest population center.
If UO and OSU would ever merge (INCOMING!!!) it would transform PSU.
