I don't know how...since the voting procedures and numbers needed to prevail in a vote have been spelled out in the ACC Bylaws...and a 100% acceptance has never been in the bylaws.
FSU was blackballed by Maryland and Duke...and got in....and that too, is sourced.
Time and era. It could be that committee members now respect each other's interests a lot more. BC suffered for that one vote. Miami almost put the brakes on everything because of that vote. This is why I call it a blackball because I know it goes against the bylaws. But sometimes the power of the blackball goes well beyond that one solitary vote.
