Wow, it's difficult to simply agree with your point which is basically what I was trying to do. I would argue it's different in two ways:

1) the acc is a conference dominated by Tobacco Road and inherently southern (despite it's name). If it becomes a true east coast conference then great but were certainly not there right now.

2) SU went from a conference loaded with meaningful regional rivals in key recruiting areas and within easy driving distance  to a conference with no philly presence, no jersey presence, no dc/nova presence and no NYC presence. It also includes a total of 1 regional rival (BC). That sucks. Now the point is moot b/c what else can you do if you're extremely concerned about reaching the Belk Bowl 3 out of every 5 years and building huge indoor practice facilities (which is what all football programs seem to care about)? They had to go somewhere for football and the acc offered a lifeline. But I'd say it's a stretch to call it an ideal fit.
