The ACC is not controlled by the 4 NC schools. UVA has more individual power than either Wake or NCSU, and Maryland has always wielded a good deal of influence. Maryland and GT, supported fully by Clemson and FSU, had enough power to make certain that there was zero possibility that the 4 NC schools could be in the same division.
 
Texas wants to be unquestioned autocrat of that in which it is a member. Texas has never considered the SEC because Texas cannot rule the roost as sole rooster in the SEC. The deal with the Pac would have left Texas rooster of the new 8 team Pac East, and that was fine with UTx. But the Aggies decided against being so gored again by steers. WVU is not going to be remotely close to an equal in the Big 12. 
 
I think Texas might be trying to cause the ACC trouble as WVU fans seem to think because the ACC took Pitt, forcing Texas to take WVU, a school with which it would prefer not to make a rough peer through sports. But I assume that nobody with power at any ACC school is stupid enough to believe that Texas is the leopard that not only has changed its spots, but has agreed to be declawed.
