What might that be? Million dollar payouts via a conference network. The ACC doesn't have that. Neither does the Big 12. But the Big 12 at least has the Longhorn Network, which, Oklahoma president David Boren believes, could be extrapolated into a conference network. Sure, it's a total long shot. But until the Big 12 creates a conference network, it's a no shot.

No worse than second. Personally, given its tradition and following, I believe BYU to be the best overall candidate. But UC makes a lot of sense given its proximity to West Virginia.
