Let's think about this... For current ACC teams, traveling once to San Francisco isn't a big deal and is likely a perk. Thus, it would only help California and Stanford in their "away games". But, that means teams on the east coast would now need to travel 3 to 4 hours to get to Dallas... just to save California 2 to 3 hours of extra flight time. The cumulative travel time for everyone involved, plus expenses and burden, is far greater and costlier. The solution is add a few more schools out west so teams can have more local rivals. Unfortunately, during all this conference shuffling the ACC was either A) asleep at the wheel, or B) didn't want to expand without major concessions . Probably a combination of both.
