I disagree on the B12.  Assume losing Clemson, FSU, ND, and UNC to the B1G/SEC... I believe a 30-team B12/ACC hybrid of leftovers could be really fun from a basketball/football perspective if done correctly:

West: Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, Utah, Stanford, Cal 
Southwest: SMU, TCU, Houston, Texas Tech, Baylor, Oklahoma State
Midwest: Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, Louisville, Cincinnati, Colorado 
Southeast: Duke, NC State, Wake Forest, Miami, UCF, Georgia Tech
Northeast: West Virginia, Pitt, Syracuse, BC, Virginia Tech, Virginia

If you play you own division, plus one from each other division, could be pretty cool for football.  You still have Texas Tech, BYU, Miami, Arizona State, and SMU as playoff caliber teams to justify at least 2 guaranteed spots.  I could see a 16-team playoff with 4 B1G, 4 SEC, 4 B12/ACC, 1 G5, and 3 at-large (almost always SEC/B1G/ND).  That would also stabilize college football pretty well.

For basketball, a conference with Arizona, Houston, Kansas, Duke, Louisville, NC State, and Syracuse has a lot of name potential.  If Miami or Va Tech goes instead of ND, backfill with UConn.  Helps hoops all the more.

Perfect?  No.  But we would have games against WVU, Pitt, and BC every year, as we should.  We played a very national schedule in the 1960s.
