Mr. Castiglione is still correct. ME: If you believe the Grant of Rights has no effect whatsoever then, yeah, anything is possible. I might even believe VPI could listen, since they aren't a member for a long time. But going back on their word to the ACC after fighting to join for decades? That I won't believe. I also don't believe the B1G would feed this kind of information to an unknown blogger. They're smarter than that. This is why I'm not afraid to post this. It's entertaining to see what people are willing to latch on. [/QUOTE]
