The ACC is a BBall conference that plays FB for ca$h so it can support its BBall and Olympic sports. If you lose all your FB schools then you get a weak TV contract. If the gap in the ACC TV $ and the B1G/SEC TV $ becomes too big, then a school would be irresponsible not to leave despite being a BBall school. IMO the following schools are fine being #5 in FB as long as the TV $ gap isn't too big:
 
SU, BC, Pitt, UVA, VT, NC St, UNC, Duke, Wake, Clemson, GA Tech, Miami
 
As long as those 12 stick together, the ACC will be fine and there should be enough $ to keep them all happy. FSU is the only school that really would have an issue IMO. If FSU and Louisville ended up in the B12 but the rest of the ACC remained, I think everyone would be happy. 
 
As to ACC expansion take a look at Louisville and Cincy then look at the ACC schools above. No way those two belong with the rest of those schools. Leave them out. The ACC would be fine with as little as 12 teams. If you are forced to fill for vacancies, I rather see a hybrid of like minded schools. Again like you said decide what you are. If that decision is strong academics and BBall, then why in the hell would you even think of UL or Cincy? Go get UConn, Army (FB only), Navy (FB), GTown (BBall), Nova (BBall or even FB). Those schools fit. Adding UL or Cincy will not make the ACC any stronger in FB. So why not add the others instead? Take UConn for now. If other schools leave then go hybrid.
