Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 34996, member: 289"] I agree that it's been clear we wanted to elave the Big East behind for the ACC since 2003, maybe not with greta ehtusiasm, since we co-foudned the conferecne but because it was obviouslyu the better deals and JB surely knew that we would leave for the ACC if the opportunity ever came up again. On top of that, it's well known that JB is likely to retire in the ehar future so his imput on decisons that will will impact SU for a genearation or more after he's left would be limtied. I also think this was no where near as a sudden as it appearred: there had to be talks going on behidn the scenes long before this. I beleive the scenario that the ACC wanted to expand to 14 so thyey could re-negoiate thier TV contract and SU heard of this and went after it with the promise to play confercne games in MSG as a carrot. it worked.
