I agree on your ACC point, CC. Let them tout this as the ACC has not been in this position before.    

I wouldn't mind the Pac12 putting out a final count on it's website touting the Pac12's dominance in medal count in Paris.  It would be a nice way to go out on top!

I think it makes sense for the ACC to celebrate the accomplishments of Stanford's athletes (rather than the Pac12). These medal counts are really about celebrating the overall excellence of the athletic programs of its current member institutions. I don't think any conference would (or could) claim to have directly made Valarie Allman a good discuss thrower.
