Message: [QUOTE="yukonfan4, post: 2996165, member: 9448"] 1) the conference didn't need to be saved until Syracuse left and others were compelled to follow. that's the WHOLE POINT. 2) in 2011 the BE still had all the traditional rivalries that mattered and it made as much sense geographically as the current ACC does- it wasn't "spread thin" like the AAC is. 3) if the old BE still existed it would be getting PLENTY of revenue. the tv deal would be worth many times more than the AAC and new big east deals combined. 4) but Syracuse was selfish and wanted even MORE money from the ACC. you chose greed over honor and tradition. you can't argue that Syracuse abandoning (and thereby destroying) the conference, is somehow proof that conference destruction was inevitable. that's a logical fallacy.
