Coastal Conference
Something like this will work. It adds the 8 PAC12 schools plus WVU and Cincinnati. Only thing it doesn't have is Texas representation. We'd probably need to go to 9 or 10 conference games, and some permanent rivals like UVA-VT and Miami-FSU set up. But this would be a way for the ACC to get to 24.

This to me demonstrates the Big Ten's weakness.

I agree. The B1G is the clear #2 IMO.

Given those numbers no P10 or B12 teams make sense for the B10

Would Washington or Oregon move ND's needle at all?

Yep, next step is ACC-PAC merger. Value (and safety) with volume

Right. The purpose of a merger is for teams to be able to get exposure on
