No they should join the AAC

Why pick up the P5's sloppy leftovers?  We're trying to build a conference here...

USF and UCF will NEVER be invited to the ACC if Miami and FSU are members.

If we are just in fantasy conference re-arrangement mode:

Send FSU to the SEC and USF takes their slot in the ACC.
