Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 4701785, member: 55"] I know Syracuse didn't come with Miami, but the reason that BC and Syracuse were invited when Miami left, and the threads holding the Big East together were pulled apart, was because Miami demanded it so they were seen by their northeastern alumni and target student audiences. And back then, Miami was powerful enough in football compared to the ACC that the ACC let them dictate terms. Different expansions had different motivations. I doubt they're upset that they took Syracuse, by the way. BC is a different matter. [/QUOTE]
