The Big10 should OWN Chicago (I would say Detroit, but it's Detroit).  Second option is Indianapolis, but that just doesn't seem to carry the same cache as Chicago.  Chicago is the mid west.  Big Shoulders and all.

The Big East has been smart to lock up MSG.  It's their signature.  Goes together like hot pretzels and mustard.

The Pac12 taking LA is a perfect fit.

The SEC should make New Orleans their capitol.

The Big12 will make their home wherever the Texas Longhorns tell them to make it.

The ACC is in a difficult spot.  I'm sure the old guard wants no part of giving up control of the North Carolina-centric nature of the conference.  The fact is, they may never have to.  But nationally, North Carolina doesn't carry the same prestige of NYC, Chicago, LA or even New Orleans.  Greensboro is the boonies as far as the rest of the country is concerned.  The major cities within that footprint -- not already staked out by others -- that do fit the bill are Washington DC, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Miami. 
 
DC is too "Northern" and would never sit well with the North Carolina mafia.
Philadelphia has no representation within the conference, so they're out.
Miami is too extreme -- a southern city that's really a northern city.
That leaves Atlanta -- which would absolutely work, except it's not in North Carolina.  I suspect they will decide that Greensboro is the conference's permanent home.  I think it's mistake.  But it is what it is.
