I don't know what Fortune 500 companies has to do with the merits of UC or UConn but I will say as a strike against UC that they can't even get people in their own city to attend games when they're good. They don't have a fan base outside of four or five counties. They do have plenty of merits, but if the Big 12 is looking for a dent in media markets in Ohio, it will be limited to Cincinnati and (maybe) Dayton. Of course, this really isn't about media markets because they're not even adding a network so at most it's about size of fan base for a possible online digital platform. And that's where, again, UC will struggle.

That said, regardless of UC's strengths or weaknesses, I think everyone knows they're in the driver's seat. It's probably mostly due to geography, as in relative proximity to an existing member, but nonetheless they'll get in if the league expands.

The debate should really be about how the Big 12 views UConn to Houston, BYU, UCF and Memphis IMHO.
