As FB fanbases go, the ACC is weak. Wake and Duke are awful. MD and GA Tech are poor for BCS schools. UVA, UNC, and NC St are below average for BCS schools. Really those 7 schools were no different top to bottom than the BE schools were before the first ACC raid. You switch FSU and Clemson to the BE and the BE would have averaged more per game than the ACC did with both teams.
 
Also those BE schools have an higher average current enrollment of nearly 5k vs those 7 ACC schools. So if the BE schools have more people attending their games and more students how is it that the ACC has more fans? 
 
Which brings me back to my original premise. If the BE sat there in 2001 and said hey this is our 10th anniversary what can we do to make ourselves better? Then taking a look around seen how successful the SEC and B12 CGs had gone, shouldn't they have considered expending? Shouldn't they have thought well we could be the East coast version of the P10? Wouldn't going hard after FSU have been a good idea? As well as putting out feelers for Clemson, GA Tech, and MD?
 
There was no way the BE would have gotten all four of those schools but shouldn't the master plan have been:
 
South: FSU, GA Tech, Clemson, VT, MD, RU
North: Miami, WV, Pitt, SU, UConn, BC
 
Then as back up plans ECU, Temple, and stay at 9/10 teams?
