Message: [QUOTE="Yawkey Way, post: 1571075, member: 4458"] The two are not related, of course. But the teams that forsaw the instability on the horizon after Miami left the BE, and subsequently left the BE after Miami did, were proven right to have left the BE when they did. Had they stayed, they would have been far worse off, as the BE football league later collapsed. ALL the BE teams that had football programs that left the BE and found a spot in what would become a P5 conference are better off now. I don't think there could be much disagreement with this. Even the administrators ( and most Uconn football fans ) accept this, as it is one of the reasons they are all attempting so hard to find a spot themselves now in a P5 conference. Syracuse and Pitt were early left behind programs, but even they jumped at a ACC invite, once it came to them, as they also knew they would be better off in a P5 Conference that not. So its universally accepted ( away from this board ) that all these schools consider their afiliation in the ACC to be better for them than not to be in the ACC, and where they were before they agreed to accept the league's invite. Uconn, for its part, would accept ANY P5 Conference invite right now, as it is far better to be a member of a P5 Conference, than any other league not a P5 Conference. [/QUOTE]
