#3 is one of the top reasons!  FSU has only one place to go if they leave the ACC, which is the Big 12.  They are not going to the Big 1G, Pac 12, and probably not the SEC.  There could be anywhere from 2 to 6 spots in the Big 12.  We don't know.  You would have to think that FSU would like a voice in making over the Big 12 so it's most attractive to them.  In other words, FSU would probably want to add neighbors to go to the Big 12 with them like Clemson, GT, Miami,...  In addition, we may not see 16 school power conferences as the Big 1G and Pac 12 could stay at 12 and SEC could stay at 14.  We don't know.
 
As for #4, have you looked at FSU's home ACC schedule this year?  Wake Forest, Clemson, BC, and Duke.  Think that excites the fan base?  L
et's compare football schools that FSU could play in the two conferences (and assume Clemson goes with them)
 
Texas/Virginia Tech
Oklahoma/Miami
Clemson/Clemson
West Virginia/GT
Oklahoma St./UNC
Texas Tech/NC St.
Oklahoma St./Virginia
Kansas St./Maryland
Kansas/Syracuse
Baylor/BC
Iowa St./Pitt
 
And don't forget Duke and WF in the ACC.
 
The top is better in the Big 12 with Texas/Oklahoma/West Virginia > VT/Miami/GT.  The middle is about the same and the bottom with Duke and Wake Forest in the ACC is better in the Big 12.
