How is that "next to nothing?" That would make them a doormat for the foreseeable future while limiting collateral damage to other schools.
Every time someone is sent to prison there's collateral damage. Even for minor crimes and crimes many think ought not result in prison time there are mothers and fathers are separated from their kids, sons and daughters from their parents, breadwinners who work a real job but caught up in something illegal (sometimes ridiculously minor) are taken away from a family unit and/or the cost of the legal process breaks a family already on age.
The collateral damage of a football conference is not more important than the damage done to families. And a major difference is that the ACC will survive even if UNC is punished according to their crimes - they aren't as on edge as one would believe, certainly not with FSU and Duke still carrying the banner.

... and that's where you're wrong. The three power players in the ACC are UNC, UVA, and Duke. That's where the money and influence is. Take away one, and the draw for the other two to hold it together is impacted significantly.
