By having three divisions in different time zones you are maximizing programming for a potential TV partner. The other drivers a TV partner is looking for are recent performance, size of TV market, size of school (ie. # of alumni = potential viewers), quality of facilities and overall history/academic standing.
The proposed schools are the best combination I could come up with to hit on a majority of those drivers. None hit them all.

I applaud your thinking outside the box, while we others sit here and complain about the bad gyms and bottom feeders of the A10. Picking at the exact teams you propose is denying the concept of something different is possible.
