Right now (imo) it is trying to be both a basketball conference and a football conference. Given the make up of the schools and the two factions within the ACC I don't believe they can ever fully appease both sides. Nor do I believe they can compete in the long run with the B10 or the SEC.
 
So if I were king for a day I would introduce the GOR and tell the schools that this was the day they all decide if they are in or out. Anyone who wanted to sign on great and anyone who did not that we will miss you and wish you well on your way out the door.
 
Basically let FSU, Clemson and any other football school go on their way to what ever pasture they find greener. Then take UVA, UNC, GT, Wake, Duke, SU, Pitt, NC State, BC and VT if it chooses to stay and add UL, UC and UConn.
 
Not everyone can be the big dog. Not everyone can be the B10 or the SEC. What the ACC could be is a fair to decent football league that is a notch below the big 4 but a notch or two ahead of the BE and below. While at the same time being the premiere basketball and lacrosse conference in the country.
 
We would still have a seat at the table (albeit not as big as the B10 or SEC). We would have a fair to middling tv contract and more importantly we would have a group of similar schools committed to each other with a shared conference vision.
 
TLDR:  FSU and Clemson. Time to stuff or get off the pot.
