As much as I hate to admit it, UNC is really a prize for any conference
And would be shocked if they wouldn't be courted by either of those conferences. They actually have just as much brand recognition (probably more) than those other schools - even Clemson. Even if those 3 schools left (which I don't think the SEC would want both Miami and FSU, and I don't think the B1G goes into Florida), the ACC would still be very viable with all the North Carolina Schools (Minus Wake), Virginia Schools, GT, even UL. Drop the dead weight of Syracuse and BC and Wake, add WVU, keep a Florida school (preferably Miami) and you have a very good conference: Pitt, WVU, UVA, VT, UNC, NCST, Duke, UL, GT, Miami. True round-robin play and could still have a conference championship game ala Big XII, and some great rivalries all around. That's a conference I would love to see.

AAU is about research dollars. In academic circles, classroom and research

Yep. Nebraska was added when they knew they were losing AAU. ND’s not AAU

Don't look for any current ACC team to sponsor VT for membership...
