WVU does not bring any big TV markets but that is less of an issue for the Big 12 because there isn't a conference TV network. So purely in terms of football (and basketball with WVU), Big 12 made probably the best realistic additions they could make.

I have no idea about the academics of this move, but really - academics have as much to do with any of this as basketball does.
