BC worked out great, as the ACC used the TV market in Boston as part of the TV contract with ESPN. And now the ACC can add in the Pennsyvania and New York markets. What is WVU going to offer? Charleston? Parkersburg?
And do you really think the Presidents of the universities give a shit how many t-shirts are sold? That's a fraction of a fraction of a percent of how much revenue is derived by advertising on television.
I don't think you have a clue what really matters.
