I would take as many of the bball powers you can. UNC is probably not available, but Duke might be. Syracuse and LVille have good history, even if they aren't much lately. The potential is there. Build the biggest league you can, and play as many games as you can, across 4 time zones. Drive value.Rather than absorbing the ACC leftovers, I think we would be better off spinning off the Eastern Big12 teams to the ACC to keep them solvent. Merge the conferences in terms of administration and under one TV deal but keep them separate in terms of competition.
But I’m not sure what to do with the new additions to the ACC. They don’t seem to belong.
You could also have a huge conference tournament that's basically a mini-NCAA. Or do something completely different and creative with it.
