Not to get side tracked because it's all water under the bridge now, but the delay that went on and the public spectacle of the site visits gave the faculties enough time at UNC and Duke to organize against expansion.  James Moeser and Nan Keohane were both too weak to take on their faculties.  Their changing their votes from yes to no at the end of the process is what made John Casteen's UVA vote matter.    The irony in all this is that if Virginia Tech wasn't invited then, they would probably be in the SEC today.  I know that the ACC wouldn't want that.   I have a friend that worked in Governor Mark Warner's office, and the hate mail that Gov. Mark Warner got from UVA fans at the time was very vicious.  I'm a UVA fan that wanted the Hokies.  Most did not.  It's a rivalry thing.  Looking back on it, it was the right thing for the ACC and for the state of Virginia.   
 
As I've posted in other posts, I'm not pushing UConn.  I prefer other options, but I don't want that lawsuit to be what rules them out.  That's all.  I'm probably not going to get what I want.  You and others reiterate that the lawsuit was personal.
