The Syracuse University administration really dished out a facial.

According to the Post Standard, the timeline for SU's bolt to the ACC is:

ACC decides to expand on Tuesday.
ACC contacts Nancy Cantor on Wednesday.
She gets back to them on Thursday and has discussion with Swofford.
The Executive Committee of SU's Board of Trustees approves the move on Friday.
Cantor discusses the move with Boeheim on Saturday.
(Unclear if this occurred before or after Cantor had heard the ACC accepted SU's application.
Also not clear if this is the first time Boeheim actually was told of the mercurial move).

IF that timeline is correct, then:

The Chancellor first discussed the move with the basketball coach AFTER THE FACT.
It was already a fait accompli.
She saw no need to get his input BEFORE SU okayed the move.

For better or worse, Jim Boeheim is the face of Syracuse University.
He's likely the highest paid university employee.
But after 35 years as head coach, his input was deemed irrelevant before a move like this.
He was told what was going to happen, whether he liked it or not.
In other words, when you get right down to it, he was treated like a nobody.
Very classy.
