South Carolina had the votes before Georgia Tech was admitted.

So I'm guessing the two attempts were in 1976 and 1979. SC was going through an identity crisis.

See line item 16 for information pertaining to the 1976 attempt:

Is there any public report indicating what all the conditions the conference required for reentry were?

I'm not aware of any public report. But I read the ACC was punitive towards South Carolina. Here's what I found in the the Garnet and Black.

Quote:1976 - secret negotiations between the ACC and South Carolina break down when the ACC demands a hefty "re-entry" fee. McGuire supported re-entry because our basketball fortunes had slid rapidly in the years following our departure. Carlen, however, opposed re-entry because the football team was enjoying on the field success - and accompanying financial rewards - playing as an independent; Carlen felt returning to the ACC would have a negative financial impact without any upside in terms of competition. Eventually, a divided Board of Trustees, combined with the ACC's ungracious demand for a substantial cash payment, all contributed to deny us a detente with our former conference mates. Eventually, we would join the Metro Conference, but that was small potatoes compared to the ACC glory days we forfeited. Had we been able to return to the ACC, we could have reversed the mistake of 1971.
