Because of their big city nature, they will always have eyeballs and it's the reason why FS1 is paying them like $500,000,000 for the rights. By mainstream you must mean ESPN because there was plenty of their games all over TV last year including Coach K's 1000th win. WSU would rename Koch arena "Woodfox Court" for a chance to play in that league.
Best non-football league by far? No.
Again, the reason they got that many teams in is because they're overrated, like I already stated. How many teams did they have in their first year? FS1 can pay them $20 billion for all I care. That doesn't mean anybody's watching. Fox is a joke (see U.S. Open).
If it took WSU to rename its court "Woodfox Court", I certainly hope they would pass on that league. It's not the ACC by any means. Is it better than the Valley? Well a lot of conferences are better than 90% of this league. Is it a Power conference like every Big East fan wants you to believe? Not even close.
