The University Presidents care.  As much as we believe athletics are important, research dollars are what really matter.  In 2014, the University of Wisconsin spent [URL='http://news.wisc.edu/uw-madison-remains-highly-ranked-in-research-spending-despite-shrinking-revenue-streams/']$1.1 BILLION[/URL], yes BILLION, in research.  Some of this money may have been self-funded, but most was paid through grants.  In comparison, it received about [URL='http://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/big-ten-increased-revenue-32-percent-in-2014-15-team-payments-on-par-with-sec/']$32.4 million[/URL] from the Big Ten 2015.

Louisville was added to the ACC due to emergent circumstances.  The ACC had to act quickly as a result of how Maryland left.  Assuming no other schools leave in a similar way, I assume the next expansion will take into account both athletics and academics - so no WVU.  As an alum of an ACC school, I have no problem with that.
