FSU would get even more fired up to leave ASAP if the ACC were to add USF or UConn. And FSU leaving almost guarantees Come-on leaving. And that pair gones almost forces even UNC to explore leaving

What does the ACC lack that has kept its TV revenue down vis a vis the SEC and BT? Larger state flagship and land grant schools that invested big in football many decades ago. UConn and USF would both hurt that for the ACC, though USF is large and surrounded by an ark full of talent.

So as we cannot now add any large state flagships and land grants that have already well funded football programs, how can the ACC increase its revenue? Well, it can do so through the ACCN getting into new areas as a 'home' network. CA and TX are both very large states, so having members in this states can increase ACCN value. And being in this states also puts the ACC in 2 new states filled with football talent, and that may help all ACC members land decent CA and TX talent and thereby better the quality of the league.
