There's also a good chance adding more teams will backfire on conferences like adding more content is backfiring on streaming services now. Adding teams may look cool until there's no market for filler games like Arizona vs. UCF.
If I'm drowning in the ocean, I'd rather grab for a life raft than a piece of wood, but if a piece of wood is all I see, I'm going for it. Maybe I won't survive, but I won't drown as fast. Survive and advance and whatnot.
Sure, we can cause the schools that want to leave the conference some pain. We can get paid. All of which does nothing whatsoever to address my long-term desire to watch WFU play meaningful games.
Chance favors those in motion. And I'm concerned that the ACC leadership has decision paralysis, and is hoping the GOR somehow forces a better outcome. At best, it gives the ACC a little time to come up with a plan, which it seems to be squandering.
Hope is not a good plan. And recognizing that your options may not be what you wish they were is not giving up.
