ACC strategy - if Stanford and Cal join, is this move potentially
about appeasing (as much as possible) some of the current ACC members who ultimately will land in the B1G and SEC by creating a "holding pen" for two others that offer brand recognition when the P2 decide timing is right to add additional members? It's tough to add so many teams all at once - both logistically as well as not eroding economics for existing members - but if UNC, UVA, Miami, VT (fingers crossed) and even Clemson and FSU already know they are headed elsewhere, but not until the cost of exiting and GOR come more in line with timing and $$ available by joining the P2, would adding two strong west coast names to the stable for the near term while positioning for the long term potentially be the play? Seems like there has to be a longer term play here vs. adding two to the stable that don't make sense for the long haul?
