[SIZE=3]My understanding is ACC wanted somebody else last time but UVA and state of VA politics argued for it to be VA Tech instead as the 3rd with Miami and BC. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]So that probably holds true on VA Tech exodus from ACC too.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Not all states view this the same way, As with Virginia, Oklahoma and Okie St seemed to be tied as do KU and K-state. In SEC however, Florida does not want FSU, Miami or USF, Georgia does not want GA Tech, South Carolina does not want Clemson, UK does not want UL, etc. Not sure how A&M feels about another team from Texas as long as it is not in Austin.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]With respect to the potential waiver of 27 month rule, maybe they figured out that Cuse and Pitt, though you can not invite them to a private meeting at Georgetown, would still have a vote if they were members the next 27 month. So at present, with 8 Bball only schools already outnumbering remaining 7 including TCU, six until they officially arrive next year, could be a problem.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]The BE may also not want Cuse and Pitt privy to their future plans.[/SIZE]
