I've looked at the actual data on ACC vs Big12 viewership and while I understand many people thinking bigger/east coast ACC markets would deliver more viewership and value to the ACC vs the smaller metro area Big12 markets, once you take out FSU, Clemson and whatever next two you want (i.e. the 4 most likely SEC/Big10 candidates), the Big12 carries more water. It just does. And with the ACC already having its own network and the Big12 not, there is more upside in the Big12. It might defy logic or emotions on here, but it's just the cold hard facts. Then, add to those facts that Yormark is a more astute and aggressive leader than Phillips and that the ACC is a band of unlike schools as opposed to the Big12 schools being more like minded, it adds up to the Big12 being more likely to prevail over the remnant occupied ACC.
