Message: [QUOTE="FDNY99, post: 978318, member: 683"] I didn't say that UVA leaving the ACC would kill the ACC...but it will REALLY isolate BC (Syracuse and Pitt will be their closest League schools..then if you go South it could be either VT or NC, NCST, Duke) from the rest of the league by a B1G juggernaut. At the time VT left the BE for the ACC with BC and Miami, former UCONN President and then UVA President John Casteen was HIGHLY pressured by the VA state legislature and Gov to get VT included in the ACC expansion. If anyone remembers right the original expansion group was Miami, BC, and Syracuse. Syracuse was replaced by VT after Casteen appealed to his ACC President peers to include VT instead. [/QUOTE]
