That's because in this economy significant additional TV money is unavailable to them... more teams just means more mouths to feed.
And they're correct in that they've already proactively expanded... They'll remain a 2nd tier Football conference, but they'll keep their BCS status and basketball clout... it's not optimal for them, but it's workable for the time being.

The ACC may be forced to expand in order to get any kind of football TV contract if the Big Ten were to expand to 16 teams. Let's say that the Big Ten were to bag both Rutgers and Notre Dame. The Big East becomes vulnerable. The ACC may be forced to take in 4 "brand name" basketball schools with Division I FBS programs in order to stay competitive. The 4? How about UConn, Syracuse, Pitt, and Louisville? |
