They needed 12/15 votes, and according to ESPN got exactly 12. Clemson, Florida State and N Carolina, who all want out of the league, voted no. NC State had been voting with Carolina but apparently flipped.

This is all so stupid.

This is all hypothetical and would never happen, but I've been trying to play around with what would logically make sense while keeping rivalries together. 

This makes the ACC a basketball-heavy conference with strong rivalries (Kentucky-Louisville, Duke-North Carolina) and all pretty mid for football. The Big 10 is split into the classic schools with the new schools, which are pretty much misfits but still somewhat work together at least academically. I'm not a huge fan of the "Big 10 New", but not sure where else the schools would fit in. The "Big 14" should be another good conference for basketball with some solid football programs. The SEC is then loaded up with schools with a football focus with Clemson and Miami joining Oklahoma and Texas.
