Considering what the ACC is paid now...
Let's say each team gets ~$50 Million - for 27 teams, that would be ~1.35 billion - that is just a touch more than the 3 games Big Ten shows each week with CBS, NBC, and Fox (though I am not sure if that includes the BTN games with the Fox deal). The $50 million is also more than any team is getting paid in the next few years minus ND. $60 million gets to $1.62 billion - for 11 more teams and that much more content. The only one in question would be ND to see if they are satisfied with $60 million, but having a conference that is national and not regional - as well as can still schedule Navy and USC OOC.
Who knows - I think the ACC does need to think way outside the box to get them much closer to the SEC ad Big Ten and keep the teams they have down the road. If they stand put, they will keep the teams they have, but those teams will be getting less and less money than the big 2 and don't think they won't struggle more than usual and/or hate seeing that ACC logo knowing that is holding them back for agreeing for such a long-term deal.

A potential problem with this scenario is that you are sacrificing rivalry
