That was the Louisville addition when Clemson and FSU held sway over the selection of a bigger football addition and Jurich put on a full “courting” press on behalf of Louisville.
But back at the point where we would have been the selection over Pitt, the #1reason we were passed over had everything to do with the UConn lawsuit. It wasn’t even called the Big East lawsuit. The ACC spoke of it as the Connecticut lawsuit. The live shot ambition of AG Blumenthal, taking center stage at every press and TV opportunity and inspiring the amended complaint against Miami Prez Shalala and BC prez Leahy as individuals, not merely as representatives of their universities, incensed them. We shot ourselves in the foot. Blumenthal pulled the trigger. And those who deny that it mattered that much among all the extenuating rationales, such as territorial exclusivity by BC are simply deceiving themselves. As in many endeavors, it got personal. And it mattered.
