When did I say SU should collect a check?  When did panic become a legitimate strategy in any organization?

SU should and does look our for SU's best interest.  Dumping the ACC (which has demonstrably been decided is virtually impossible at this time) is not a choice.  As such, SU is making the best of the situation, improving their value.  Recall, when SU joined the ACC, nobody knew this was coming, SU does not operate in the full visibility of everyone.  They were also on the B1G's target list.  When SU and Pitt jumped, the B1G had to react and got stuck with Rutgers.  (Kind of defeats everyone's claims that the superconferences will not consider bottom feeders, but that argument is from others).

Post hard numbers and prove jumping ship right now is the best option,  Factor in all variables: Exit fees, loss of broadcasts rights, compare the cost of purchasing back the broadcast rights, which conferences will take SU right now, ESPN's rights to SU's broadcasts, playing in front of SU alumni and non-alumn fans (like me) v. Iowa, Lubbock, et al., travel, new costs, etc.
