I was just referring to mid-majors. Obviously A&M did. Nebraska may have also. WVU did. There are more than a few that were already in BCS conferences that made upgrades.
But for all the mid-majors moving around, only TCU and Utah really escaped out of the md-major realm.

Looks like the Bleast wants to be the first nationwide time-zone spanning superconference. Sadly it'll be a supercrappy one.

There are also some mid-major basketball programs that helped themselves, but the only ones that stick out are VCU and Butler.

Well, if you don't consider the Big East a major conference anymore, then I think the teams that jumped ship recently like West Virginia, Pitt, Syracuse and Rutgers all improved their lot in life as well.
Plus the ones that did it a while back... Miami, VA Tech, and Boston College.

Isn't Boise State looking to get back to the Mountain West? I don't think that Boise makes it to the Big East since it has substantially declined since the intitial agreement to make the move.

Because they are about to lose Louisville, UConn, and probably Cincinnati. Tulane can claim that they will bring the New Orleans metro market (even though we all know otherwise).

they won't dominate the market, but the games will still be shown there.
so, in a sense, they can in fact deliver the market.
