No way that the state government will let VPI leave behind UVA in a weakened ACC after pulling so many strings to get them an invitation.
I don't have as good of a pulse on whether or not NC State would be allowed to leave, but I'm guessing anything that resembles NC State advancing to a greater position than UNC would be a tough sell for the state government.

NC State isn't going anywhere, as far as I can tell.

So...the UNC people get to pick over half of the people that run NC State? In that case, they're attached at the hip.
