Message: [QUOTE="ForCuseSake, post: 2613111, member: 266"] Let me make sure I understand your post: You disagree that Jake C had an ACC invitation locked up (despite his unwillingness to leave the BE and VA politics) but Doug Marrone’s .500 record drove the deal to completion 9 years later. Jake - the AD who presided over one of the best stretches of success in school history had less to do with garnering an ACC invitation than Doug Marrone. Good grief. SU didn’t “consider” joining the ACC in 2003. They were going to the ACC until the VA governor interceded for BlahTech. Jake did this reluctantly but he was smart enough to read the tea leaves and know the Big East was toast. You cite the once a year big crowds at MSG hoops games as proof spending millions for NYC advertising drives attendance. And NYC football recruiting is laughable in the relative pittance they produce. [/QUOTE]
