BCU Upset Alert????

You don't understand the BY yet. They are a hopeless athletic afterthought with no fan base or future which somehow has the power to determine the membership choice of a conference they just joined which by the way has no respect for them.

I think when it comes to turf war issues, members are willing to be understanding in case they in turn need to use that to keep someone out they don't want.
The fact that there was an alternative (Pitt) that appealed to some of them didn't help matters.

Also we didn't have anyone white knighting us. If someone else spoke up for us the result might have been different.

BC was on the ACC expansion committee and didn't allow UConn to go to the full conference vote at the time they took Syracuse. DeFilippo squashed it, so Pitt was up next.

Also, BCU at that time was tight with Miami and Donna shalala. BCU got Miami to block UCONN with them, so it kept UCONN out of the ACC. Whatever we been through last 10+ years was caused mainly by BCU with lesser extend by Pitt and SU.
