Obviously, the name "Pac-12 Plaza" has to go. But I don't see any need to call it "ACC Plaza" or to fly ACC flags.
We should just fly 12 Stanford flags on those flagpoles.

Sounds good to me. Maybe the 12 most recent Stanford athletic championships...

Fly the flags of Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah upside down, because they clearly were legitimately in distress when they left. Hoist the mascots of Oregon and Washington to the top by the neck and those of UCLA and USC by the feet. That would be a good expression of opinion for at least a year :-).
UPDATE: I didn't forget Colorado. I regard their leaving the PAC-12 (PAC-10 at the time) as addition by subtraction. IMO they never were "all in" for the PAC-12. They are on the wrong side of the Rockies. The BIG-12 was a more natural fit and where they really needed to be all along. I bear them no ill will at all for departing. Glad they did, for both them and the PAC-12. Utah, Arizona and Arizona state are not in that category.
