FWIW, what you call "blinsided" I would call a natural approach given what happened to us in 2003. That saga was soooo public that it allowed the VA legislature to squash our admission and hand it to VaTech.  Had SU and Pitt been more public this time the resulting circus could easily have killed our invite. Again.

As much as I "sports hate" UConn, being an SU grad living in CT, I feel for you guys. It sucks to be left behind, and we all know because we've lived with that for 8 years.  But don't be mad at us.  Be mad at the hoops schools for never just shutting up and letting the big boys run the conference.  Be mad at the BE leadership for not doing just that. Be mad at ND for being eternally selfish.  Hell, be mad at the NCAA for mandating that a conference must have 12 teams to hold a championship game (the most overlooked thing that caused all this conference expansion mess to begin with).

But don't be mad at us.  I didn't get a degree from the Big East.  SU has to look out for ourselves, and UConn has done and will do the same.
