The ACC asked BC to join the conference so it could host a conference


championship game. When Miami and VT joined the ACC, the ACC only had 11 members. At the time the NCAA bylaws stated that a conference must have at least 12 members divided up into 2 divisions and the divisions must play a round robin schedule in order to host a conference championship game.

Also, Pitt didn't "replace" Maryland because L'ville replaced Maryland. Hence why L'ville and UVA are paired together as the protected cross-division game in football. Pitt and Syracuse joined in 2013 and were paired up in football. In 2014, Maryland left for the Big Ten and the ACC added L'ville to fill Maryland's void so it could continue playing the conference championship game in football.
