FSU, Clemson, UNC, and NCSt = NO; ND, Pitt, GT, LOU strongest supporters.
Per Pat Forde:
"Four schools stood opposed when the issue was discussed Wednesday night, sources say: Florida State, Clemson, North Carolina and North Carolina State. Lacking the requisite numbers, sources say it is unlikely that the potential expansion of the league will be put to a formal vote.
Sources described ACC members Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech and Louisville as among the most vocal in advocating for the Cardinal and Golden Bears to join the league."
TBH, I'm surprised there aren't more than 4 NO votes. I feel like this decision independent of the FSU problem. But maybe I'm wrong. I think NC State will vote like UNC votes. So basically UNC is keeping Cal and Stanford out. I just think FSU is just so disagreeable that they are going to vote NO to anything the ACC wants to do. Not sure about Clemson.

They didn't take the official vote, because they don't have the votes,

Didn't UNC seek to keep us out? They don't like change.**

I don't think SMU would be a joke in the ACC as Rutgers is in the B1G.

If ACC won't take them, then it's either going to be MW or AAC.
