Message: [QUOTE="Marty Jackson, post: 1788220, member: 2291"] The ACC didn't make the process a public spectacle. Most thought Uconn was a shoe-in until it wasn't picked. There wasn't a pro-longed debate or process in which UofL was pitted against Uconn. As for Syracuse and Pitt, along with the other moves in the first raid, most we more very much a closed process. very few had knowledge prior to the actual announcement. Same with The BIG. You can't compare the process because the public wasn't part of it. But, then go back to WVU and the Big 12. Again, their process became a public spectacle in which UofL was pitted against WVU. They seem to be the only conference that can't keep its in-house matters private. Or, they are the only conference that prefers to play out their matters in public to gauge public perception. However you view it, it isn't a positive to make other academic institutions publicly grovel. [/QUOTE]
