Your points are good but they are not fact based. 
First the ACC has been actively looking for about 2 years.
Second and this is the salient point, the ACC cant do anything without support and agreement from its media partner ESPN which passed on the PAC when it was in the drivers seat once the LA market was lost.
If the ACC can pick up the media markets tied to Cal, Stanford and SMU in an accretive transaction it is absolutely a good move. 
As to making additional moves in 2031 im in complete agreement with you and believe that will happen as by then ESPN will be in a much better financial position.  Remember without buy in from ESPN the ACC cant do anything.  
ESPN and its Parent company are going through a massive restructuring, shedding cost, looking to sell assets and enter into strategic partnerships. 
When corporations are in the middle of this process it is extremely difficult and potentially harmful to do anything but cost cut. 
I find it encouraging that the ACC is potentially in position to add three great academic/athletic schools and their media markets given the current position our media partner is in. Very encouraging as it points to a well thought out accretive transaction.
