Agreed. The problem for New Mexico is that it doesn't sit near any significant population center.

With the grant of rights signed by the ACC - there is no way FSU is leaving.

Realistically and based on markets and overall university strength - I would go with BYU, CSU, UCF and Cinci.

you add UCF and USF you get millions of eyeballs watching Big 12 football in the Tampa Bay and Orlando areas. And those Florida recruits will see all the Big 12 teams in person. USF plays in the Bucaneers stadium. UCF has a big stadium too.
