Given the ACC's current leadership, I do think it would still want


4 NC schools. Honestly, I believe NC only needs 2 schools. However, I don't see the ACC willing to go with the "token private school" model that is used by the other 3 power conferences (Big XII excluded). So the ACC would want Duke, UNC, and NC State. I don't see the ACC settling for 3 NC schools because it would lead to problems if the conference wanted to continue using the zipper model or switch to a pod model. So the ACC would want a 4th NC school to create "balance." Because of the private school factor, I think Wake would get the nod over App State, ECU, and Charlotte.
