There HAS been unrest.


However, the two schools who were upset had no viable options. The SEC didn't want Clemson or FSU due to their schools in those states blocking their being offered. Neither were all that attractive to the B1G either. Both DID give the Big12 a consideration. The Big12 makes more money now. The additions of a cherry picked handful of ACC schools, schools like Clemson, FSU, Miami would have resulted in SEC like money. Anyhow, there's just such an old guard of ACC schools that they won't challenge much of anything the leadership does. The Tobacco Road four aren't going to. They lead this league around too much, and the ACC offers plenty of money to support the 15 man basketball programs, whis is all they REALLY care about. UVA's full of tradionalists, and they don't really need the money thanks to their practically giving up on football, so they aren't going to grumble. Most the other schools are new and have no other options. What's BC, Pitt, Cuse, Louisville gonna do? Where else would they go? Any unrest from them would have little to no effect.

Anyhow, I would bet there's plenty of unrest. Furthermore, the more fans who are aware of things like how the 10 team Big12 makes $40 million from the Playoff bowl agreement while the 14 team ACC makes $27 million the better. The more pressure that will be applied. Notice the different attitude on THIS board than the Realignment board.
