[QUOTE="Techster, post: 954611, member: 360"] The move for the ACC years ago should have been: Stanford, Cal, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah (+/- one or two of those schools). Even if the ACC remained the same financially in terms of per school share, that would have created a compelling 3rd national "Power 3" conference...even before the Big 12 made the move for other schools. Given that ESPN no longer is paying for the PAC12, this goes to my play of eliminating the money to one conference, and investing more into a conference that is making you money. Now you're investing money into a conference that will have compelling coast to coast matchups in football and basketball. It would give the ACC a West Coast presence so a small number of schools would not have been out on an island. Go to 10 game conference schedule and increase compelling matchup inventory. Of course, I think FOX/B1G moved on Washington and Oregon precisely because the B1G and Fox wanted to keep those schools for eventual national conference plans. Whatever arrangement the ACC makes with any new schools I believe is temporary. There is no way the ACC hangs on to all the current members once the GOR has expired. [/QUOTE]
