Most articles I've read center on the following candidates:
Big 12 may take four.
1) BYU - Big national fan base. A "no brainer" if they can get BYU to join as "football only"
2) Houston - has strong backing of TX governor and offers a major city tv outlet
3) Cincy - strong program and facilities, and offers large city tv outlet, plus travel help for WVU
4) UCF - decent program potential in major city in heart of great recruiting area
5) Memphis - big backing offered by major Memphis corp, powerful bball program
6) UConn - entry to Northeast, potential for tv ratings never fulfilled, great bball teams & help for WvU
How would you rank these candidates?
