The ACC doesn't have the luxury to do what the B1G just did.
And that's to take the best football brand and the best basketball brand from the Pac. We need to take a good bit of schools so they can still play one another. Let's say that we want to play 9 ACC games. If we take 6 PAC schools, for them, it's 5 west coast opponents, two east coast opponents at home, and two games on the east coast. I think that's doable.
For my money, I'd take UW, UO, Arizona, Colorado, and Cal. The sixth team would either be Stanford, ASU or UU. Some opinions may vary on this, I'm sure.

The ACC eight breakaway idea is a form of contraction.
