I just don't think adding 2 west coast schools is enough unfortunately. If

only there would have been proactive ACC leadership, when it was needed months ago, the ACC could have probably gotten Arizona, Arizona St and Utah (or 1 Arizona school, Utah and Colorado)...instead of them going to the B12! This would have been a decent pod of western teams and helped them (and ACC schools) with the travel nightmare that looms ahead for all involved! Adding a Texas school like SMU is a good idea....BUT again....where was ACC leadership when other higher profile Texas schools were available? It's completely infuriating to have inept leaders running this conference!

Would those schools have actually helped anything?

Who knows whether they'd actually boost the per school payout though?

I have heard $70M divided over mostly original ACC teams at first

The B12 makes way more geographic sense for AZ/CO/UT**

Acc isn't going anywhere for 8-10 years

We didn't hear a peep about the ACC being interested in the West Coast

Doing nothing is better than adding G5's SMU, Tulane, Memphis. That's just
