Wake Forest, UNC, Duke, Virginis supported UConn

Virginia must stand up and do the honorable thing. The ACC has made a mockery of athletics. It has relegated as inconsequential the core academic mission of a university. It is time for Virginia to say, "no more, our honor will stand" and leave for the Big 10 (where conveniently it would make twice as much money).

I personally don't see how UVA saw this happening without making a lot of noise unless they had ulterior motives.

I did laugh a little however about FSU pending free agency. The ACC spit on something they always held dear (academic standing) out of fear that FSU would bolt if they didn't get their way only to hear FSU say "guess what suckers, we may leave anyway!".

I'm convinced that once the dust clears on Maryland's departure fee UVA to the B1G happens. After the B1G takes UVA, its 50/50 that we are next to the B1G.

In an organization like an athletic conference, your votes on membership candidates don't tend to be binary votes like that. It's "Here is a list of membership candidates", and they're each voted on individually.

Because the circumstances seemed to demand that there be only one candidate in the end, voting could appear to be zero-sum like that. However, one school definitely could have supported multiple candidates, and had the ACC been interested in multiple candidates at the time, Louisville and UConn would have had their own individual votes.

That is very well explained. Thank you.

Too late for that I'm afraid.

Did ECU cry and give up?

Clemson has only one option and that's the Big12. They cannot go to the SEC due to South Carolina's Legislature preventing USC and Clem from being in the same conference. That means no SEC and they have not been mentioned or really fit in the B1G so why cater to these guys? Their options r limited....... Even the ACC sports talk shows make fun of them saying "Cry all you want Clemson, but your options are limited. Where are you gonna go?"
