I'm not really sure who gives you much bang for your buck, though. I'm sure Penn State would be the biggest fish, but they aren't leaving the Big Ten and no one is leaving the ACC. Who else is there? UConn, Rutgers, WVU, Temple, UCF or USF, Louisville?

I'd guess that it would be a toss-up between taking a basketball power (Louisville or UConn, although UConn doesn't seem to be too popular with the ACC) or getting Rutgers (gives you a nice, populated state in New Jersey plus some impact in NYC and Philly, and ND could probably swing a deal to play a game in New York (Rutgers or Syracuse) each year.
