Random thoughts:
-Pitt has not moved the needle much in the two big sports since joining the ACC. Don't know if the Big 10 would want them, especially with Penn State already at the table putting up a lot of resistance. I would guess the Pittsburgh/Western PA market would not increase much beyond what the Lions already pull.
Pitt does have the AAU feather in their cap, though.
-If Oklahoma and Texas do move to the SEC, the Big 12 better move quick to stabilize if they don't want to implode-the domino effect may be too much to overcome if other schools are lured away.
Adding schools from the AAC might be their best hand, with maybe Cincinnati and Memphis, along with Houston, SMU, in attempt to cobble some old Southwest Conference nostalgia. Not sure how much loyalty they feel to WVU, but having some teams a bit further east could keep them from shopping around. Would think Boise or BYU may be of interest, too. Already having two faith-based schools in conference makes for a smoother path for BYU as long as the non-Sunday games stipulation isn't a deal killer (their basketball conference championship game is on a Saturday currently)
-I don't see the ACC wanting anything to do with WVU. Minimal media gains and I frankly think most of the powers that be of the conference (and the fan bases, right or wrong) likely look down on the school.
Notre Dame would likely be the most likely target given their standing membership in the conference for all other sports, along with the cluster of ACC games they are already playing for football.
Only scenario I see any other new members being invited is if the SEC or Big 10 peel off existing teams.
Anything is possible in the current landscape. The chasm will continue to grow between the P5 and G5 teams. I can see some P5 teams losing their seats at the table and a handful of G5 schools getting pulled up.
