Here's my conspiracy theory:
1) The Carolina Triangle purposely works behind the scenes with the NCAA/FBI to undermine certain ACC member institutions they consider threats.
Reasoning (this is a conspiracy theory remember, and I in no way actually believe this. Maybe.): The first go around of ACC expansion included Syracuse for the longest time, until it was decided VPI, BC, and Miami would go. This worked well for the ACC powers that be. It somewhat bolstered the football side, and further diluted basketball so they could run roughshod over the competition.
Syracuse
Finally, when Syracuse, Pitt, and Louisville came on board, the triangle leapt into action. Determining that Syracuse was the most obvious choice for the next expansion, they paid off certain people to come forward against Bernie Fine. Those people later said that he had not abused them. All but one, who had an axe to grind. The triangle knew this was an easy way to get the NCAA snooping around the program. They continued to put pressure on the NCAA specifically after the team started 25-0 against the ACC, and beat Duke at the Dome.
Syracuse is hit with a probation well beyond the scope of their infractions, thanks to those funding the Carolina Triangle.
Louisville
Louisville was too much of a threat, so the Carolina Triangle paid people to gather information on the school. First the prosititution scandal came out. When that wasn't enough to fully cripple the program, they worked with the FBI to get moronic Louisville coaches to talk about something that frankly almost every university in the country does. This did the trick, and vampire Pitino was sent packing.
Pitt
Paid Jamie Dixon to leave. Then paid the search firm to recommend Kevin Stallings. Then paid Kevin Stallings to take the job. Simple fix there.
The Carolina mafia is behind all of it, and if they ever catch wind of who put this altogether, you'll kn
