Fact is, if the ACC lost UVA, they would lose nothing. Not TV sets (Virginia Tech has Virginia covered anyways) and certainly not athletic prowess. Argue Maryland's success all you want, but it comes down to TV money and UMD simply brings more to the table than the hillbilly schools. It hurts, I know. At least y'all still have academics or wherever the goalposts move to next.
