Your comparison to WVU is accurate and very predictable for the transition we would experience as well. We are better than them in BBall and would hold up better as an upper tier team, but that conference isn't close to the ACC!!! Football would be much tougher on us and we would struggle to stay in the top 1/2. Its an upgrade for sure, but as I have said many times the logistics just aren't there for us other than to say its the best option left which doesn't mean its a good one.Nate Shelton

The Big 12 had 7 (out of 10 teams) NCAA Tournament Teams, the ACC had only 6 out of 15-16 teams).
Kansas, Kansas St, Iowa St, Oklahoma, Ok St, Texas, and Baylor
ACC:
Pitt, Cuse, Viginia, N. Carolina, NC St, and Duke. Plus Loserville
In B-ball the ACC is top loaded with many bottom feeders just like the AAC.
Neither conference placed a team in the Elite 8.
I agree with you we are an academic and geographic better fit to the ACC, not arguing that at all. The ACC is my first choice, but I don't get a vote and neither does UC. The priority is getting into one of the Power Five conferences as soon as possible. Under that scenario, the Big 12 is more than acceptable if they come knocking first (and we have zero rumor, innuendo, or inkling that the ACC wants us).
I honestly think we will fair well athletically in basketball in either conference. I think we would suffer more in football simply because there are more teams in the ACC and we wouldn't have to play all of them every year. My point is simply this, we shouldn't say no to the Big 12 because it might be tough (or tougher than the ACC). We back down to no one. We may not (mostly likely will not) win right away in either one; however, we'll take their best punches and throw some of our own.
WE ARE U-C!!Red and Black are more of an Attitude than merely a color combination.
Intimidate! Dominate! Celebrate!
