Can't cut and paste. It was in a tweet to DickieV
So the head of the Big East expansion committee is shopping around? Imagine that...

I can only hope he's really, really good friends with the ACC...that's our ticket to ride.With apologies to Sun Tzu, keep your friends close, and your pretend friends closer.
Here are the tweets in sequence
1)
For the record, I predict Notre Dame will eventually be in the ACC for all sports, including FB. Not sure when but that's my strong hunch.
2)
@notthefakeSVP Too early to tell with whom. Don't think the ACC wants UConn. ACC and ND are a good academic and cultural fit.
3)
I think ND is coming to understand they will have to join a conference for FB. Best to do it on their terms. Will be biggest shoe to drop.
4)
@DickieV I read ALL your tweets Dick! It's early stages but significant conversations are taking place bt ND and ACC.
UConn, red headed stepchild? It's amazing that as successful as UConn's athletics programs have been over the last two decades, the university is seemingly universally shunned in the realignment game.
Who is the author of your second point? I can't follow.
Thats still Seth Davis sending thatWho is the author of your second point? I can't follow.
FSU is resisting weak football schools being added.
Said the 7-4 powerhouse! I guess they want those other powers like UVA.
Just a guess, but I think it's Davis tweeting to Scott Van Pelt (SVP)Who is the author of your second point? I can't follow.
Funny. I remember when I heard ND was heading up BE expansion thinking they'd be the next to go, and hoping UConn could have landed that gig.So the head of the Big East expansion committee is shopping around? Imagine that...
SVP tweeted to Davis... "With ... ?"SAMCRO is right. The tweet shown is Davis responding to SVP. SVP must have tweeted something not shown to Davis.
Some people on these boards make a big deal about the "southern culture" of the ACC. Just a few of comments. First the ACC has a much less "southern culture" than the SEC. Second from someone who lived all of his life in CT before moving to AL 28 years ago there is not a whole lot of difference between north and south that can not be accounted for by the fact that the south is much more rural than the northeast, and has a smaller southern and eastern european component to the white population. The south has much in common with the midwest heartland states such as MO, NB, KN, etc. Lastly with BC, SU, Pitt and yes Miami, the southern in the ACC to the extent that it was there is already highly diluted.So, ND culture fits in with Southerners. Uh-huh.
And, they don't want UConn. So Gene DeFilippo was hallucinating when he made those comments about blackballing UConn.
As much as I doubt Gene D's credibility, I think Seth Davis is the one on the outside here.
