The other schools convinced NC State to vote yes, but Clemson, North Carolina, and Florida State all voted no. Those 3 all want out and I'm sure the Big Ten and SEC would take them if they could (UNC and Clemson to Big Tem and FSU to SEC makes most sense).
As for the ACC, they needed to be proactive. Something they haven't been for years. And while the 3 schools aren't exactly football powers, they are excellent academic schools with big successful other sport programs. Plus, all 3 agreed to a lesser share and they do provide access to 2 of the biggest tv markets (San Fran and Dallas) in the 2 biggest states in the country. There is immense value in that. Now ACC schools have regular games in Texas and California. That is important for recruiting.
It is about eyeballs not TV markets now. People don't tune in to watch Stanford, Cal or SMU football. Bringing those 3 teams in isn't going to make a difference in recruiting for ACC schools. If a Texas or California recruit values playing close to home, they've got a lot better options than the ACC schools.
