Yeah, academics. If there are only 1 or 2 spots available in the ACC (depending on Notre Dame), I think the ACC might want to stay within its academic reputation. Buffalo is a member of the Association of American Universities, and UC, UCF, and USF are all large research oriented institutions. Even if they want to go for money, UCF probably has more potential than West Virginia since it has the largest enrollment in the country.
Based on academics alone, I think the order is Buffalo, UC, USF, UCF, West Virginia.
Based on revenue potential alone, I'd say UCF, UC, West Virginia, USF, Buffalo.
Geographically, UC would give Louisville a partner and Buffalo gives Syracuse a partner. West Virginia is a in a good central location. Even though Florida St and Miami are both in Florida, they are very far apart. So really any of these schools fit geographically.
A wildcard pick could be UMass to pair with Boston College. They also have strong academics.
