Our issue with the ACC is not personal (despite BC) at least in my view.

Our issue is that they desire to be more than what they are (a great bball and Olympic sport league that also plays football).  The FSU and UM adds were to change the general perception of who they are and now the rise of clemson only feeds this beast.  They are a balanced league that wants to be perceived as a football league. They add members to present a different face (or to retain the institutions that help them present a different face).

We are perfect for the ACC bc we are a mirror image of the old ACC.  That is our downfall.

If SMU is added it will be to add dollars (via this crazy DMA / Cable hack loophole that will soon go away) so that they can temporarily placate the institutions that help them feel like a football league.  The original ACC members are going to hate when they destroy their conference of like-minded members in order to become that which they will never be.
