Consolation tweet from UC Prez:

I never thought I'd quote T. S. Elliot, but what the hell, and I apologize.

"And that's the way the world ended
And that's the way the world ended
And that's the way the world ended
Not with a bang, but a whimper."

CR has caused me to channel "billybud."

Call came from Bowlsby to Herbst at 3:53 p.m. "No expansion and no plans to talk about expansion," she said. "This what I expected."

"no plans to talk expansion" Ouch, that smarts.

So about that ACC with 15 seats and that B1G with a weak foothold on NYC via Rutty....

I would enjoy it if one of the presidents said "thanks for basically wasting all our time. Die in a fire." But no one wants to burn any future bridges.
