If the problem is that the list is too long, why can't WAYF categorize
the sites, so the user would have two options: look through the whole
list, or tree walk the categories and sub-categories. In essence, WAYF
can be an LDAP browser, and the users choose:

C=US,

then

S=Utah

then

O=Little College in the Desert

- and get redirected to the corresponding site.
