How well 2 schools "fit" or don't "fit" academically has no bearing


on the TV ratings for a football game. If that were true, then Duke vs. UVA or Wake football game would get higher ratings than VT vs. Clemson, FSU, or Miami. ESPN is looking to get the most bang for its buck to help make up some of the revenue that has been lost during the pandemic. The ACC (or the schools) probably have the same mindset. Since there is no guarantee on which 2 teams will play in the CCG (the FSU vs. Miami CCG "experiment" has taught us that lesson), then it should come down to what will give the ACC and ESPN the most bang for its buck.
