Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 1829579, member: 622"] The writer is not big on facts while being dangerously bug on his own ego. But let's not let truth get in the way. Every school that moved up is happy to be there. TAMU: Wanted out since mid 90's, they were never the year in and year out power team, they aren't now either. Pitt: Happy to be a decent hoops team in a very top heavy hoops conference. Football is a serious upgrade. What's their complaint? They definitely aren't saying they have a complaint. Mizzou: Openly begged for a B1G invite, gladly accepted an SEC invite. Haven't heard them complaining. Again, not the annual powerhouse that can no longer bully anyone. They were a middle to decent team, they are a middle to decent team. Wake Forest: Smallest school in the Div. I, or at least the P5. Regardless, they have never voted against improving football knowing they would be the worse for it on the field yet knowing it was good for the conference. They seem happy cashing those ACC checks and investing in their facilities. BC: They never complained about being in the ACC. They didn't rule the Big East and they don't rue the ACC, no loss there. Besides, they have several old friends in the conference now. And, I don't believe thy have made UConn or Jersey State their annual OOC rival. Rutgers: As stated above, Rutgers scored big. After borrowing a half billion dollars for the AD over the years from student fees, general fund and State Treasury, they can finally say they have arrived...ummmm, not so fast, they are still in the red on an annual basis and truthfully, they should be required to pay back every cent with interest to any entity that gave them money to invest in sports. Especially the student fees because they ere forced to support an AD they had no interest in supporting (see attendance, discount B1G opponents buying season tickets to watch their team beat up Rutgers. Still, they have that budding rivalry with Michigan and their longstanding rivalry with PSU. (Try typing that last line without laughing!) Apparently, Nebraska, Colorado, Miami, VTech, PSU, FSU, USC (east coast, the real one, not the one in Jersey), Utah, Louisville, Maryland, TCU, WVU and our own Syracuse are quite happy, though, as they must be winners not having been mentioned.
