Of the 5 major conferences, the ACC is in a better position to become a player than the Pac-12, quite possibly.
Right now, the Pac-12 is essentially U$C and Oregon football. The rest of the conference is down (Cal might rebound, but I don't think Stanford will sustain top-10 status now that they are out of Luck), and they have no basketball to speak of, as a conference.
The ACC has top-notch basketball, and two previously dominant programs in Florida poised to rebound in football. Dare I say that with the extra money, new facilities, and steady growth we will be back in the top-25 before too long.
So as I see it, the ACC is much closer to being significant in both football and basketball than the Pac-12 is. Stick around. That 5-year look-in should be very interesting.
