Even more than the national schedule, it is about the national brand.
Sure, they can join the ACC and still play a national schedule but the ACC tag dilutes the national brand. It regionalizes the school and links them to a bunch of football programs who struggle to develop a regional brand.
Don't under estimate the value of Tradition and national brand in their minds. National schedule is a secondary requirement.
