From everything I've read the ACC was Texas' first choice, but they are a combo deal with Texas Tech, and the ACC doesn't want Texas Tech because of their poor academic record.

Also it looks like a real possibility that Notre Dame and UConn will be the next to join the ACC, with Rutgers being an alternate if one or the other doesn't work out.

I also read that WVU applied for acceptance to the ACC and was turned away for reasons that weren't mentioned.

Take this for what its worth, just a few things that have been floating around.
