Anyone else feeling a twinge of regret?

If we could have convinced Cal to stay with us, we'd have an 8 team conference that is geographically friendly. It would also be composed entirely of schools with a history of being sneaky good at football. There would be no juggernauts, but all 8 schools historically have been at or around mid power-5 level or better for the last few decades. 

I can't say what the money would be. I'm sure it would be less then the ACC, though the penalties we took to leave the PAC and join the ACC may mitigate that somewhat. 

If the ACC collapses in the next round when FSU and clemson bolt pending their litigation, I wouldn't be shocked if we came back hat in hand.

Absolutely, no regrets.  The difference between the reconstituted P12 and the ACC is as wide as the distance between Palo Alto and Tallahassee.  There is no comparison between the overall athletic programs offered by the two conferences.  The ACC dwarfs the P12.  Also, I prefer to participate in a conference with nationally known schools than one with a bunch of local brands.
