With Rutgers and Maryland headed to the Big Ten that already has PSU, it is impossible for the ACC to be the conference of the east coast. We share the southeast with the SEC (UF, UGa, and SoCar) and the northeast with the BT. 
 
New England is the region (or sub-region) with the smallest % of people who care about major college sports 0- at least NY people watch college basketball in decent numbers. It also produces very few college football players: all NE states combined produce not even half as many D1A football recruits as does NC, which produces very little compared to GA, which is dwarfed by FL. 
 
Quite simply, even with ND on board fully for football, the ACC does not need another school in a region like New England.
 
The midwest is a whole other story. OH produces almost as many 1A football players as GA, and OH produces more D1 hoops players than NC and VA combined. OH people watch both college revenue sports in droves. Cincy has much more upside than UConn for the ACC in everything but chick hoops.
