It's possibly been noted already, but I just want to point out that all of the ACC Presidents (including FSU, Notre Dame, Syracuse, and Pitt) signed off on the lawsuit against Maryland to collect on the $52+ million exit fee.
If any of these teams was looking to leave the ACC, they wouldn't have done so.
I'm a little surprised that the ACC took Louisville because of their poorer academics vs. UConn--but I understand that it was a move that would appeal to FSU and, in retrospect, was probably part of the reason that they agreed to sign onto the lawsuit.
