You miss on one major point......


that being your assertion Clemson and FSU would have jumped at the SEC or possibly the Big 12. Yes both would have considered either conference but, their real value to Clemson/FSU was purely as leverage to get what they wanted from the ACC and to break the stranglehold of the NC mafia basketball schools. Neither Clemson or FSU ever really wanted to leave the ACC(fans might have liked change but, no one in actual power wanted that) for a variety of reasons. Both believed the ACC, with some desired modifications was the best location for them, a point driven home when they signed the GOR without objection/reservation.
