I'm always one to try and figure out how things could work.
So don't take this as me completely disagreeing with your statement.
However, the ACC is still monetarily a bit ahead of the Big XII now. Add to that that ESPN owns all of the ACC and only a portion of the Big XII. Add to that that FOX Sports owns a portion of the Big XII and you see that the ACC vs the Big XII could become another Fox vs ESPN battleground.
Thus, the ACC could still be in a better financial position by the next time the Big XII renegotiates their deal in 2030 or so and ESPN could be in position to shift their money away from the Big XII and towards the ACC, who it has a TV Network deal with. With Stanford and Cal on board along with a great deal of East Coast schools, the ACC could potentially be a better home for WVU, Cincinnati, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah, as opposed to the current thinking that the Big XII is a better home for VT, NCST, Louisville and Pitt.
It is possible.

Help me understand how it makes sense to add Stanford and Cal

It doesn’t make sense for the ACC and especially not for Stanford and Cal.
