The ACC GOR till 2036 is a double edged sword. The UW, UO, B1G angle is
interesting here. Rumor has it that these schools would get into the B1G if Notre Dame was secured first. But if UW and UO flirted with joining the ACC now, that would mean that the B1G wouldn't be able get their hands on them for a dozen years. So maybe it's a way that UW and UO can call the Big Ten's bluff.
That being said, I would love to see the ACC active in trying get some West Coast teams. UW, UO, Cal, ASU, CU intrigue me the most. UA for basketball might be the play too. But I think there needs to be enough teams for legit scheduling between the West Coast schools. I think the B1G is making a mistake by only taking two in addition to leaving great programs like UW to rot on the vine. That's why it's time for the ACC to act now. Because I promise you, if the B1G comes to its senses and takes UW, and we miss out, we'll be crying over what could have been.

The ACC's best immediate play is to absorb most of the Pac 12-2

The ACC doesn't have the luxury to do what the B1G just did.

The ACC eight breakaway idea is a form of contraction.
