No, there was no question I responded to, thus no question to be answered.  I made a general comment, nothing more.  Please do not read more or less into my comments.

I am not sure how you jump from a vetted team to an actionable invite, but don't let facts get in the way of a straw argument.

You are free to view the ACC move as a lifeline, I don't.  There was no ACCN on the table at that time, only membership in the ACC.  SU could have chosen to let the B1G option play out. Maybe it had but the B1G's knee jerk reaction to rush to take Rutgers indicates otherwise.  Regardless, SU could have stayed in the Big East.

Maybe you don't like those choices, but they remain choices, nonetheless.  To me, a lifeline is the not a choice between options of varying degrees but rather the option of life (continue football) or death (drop football).  Many on here would be happy to drop to FCS or D2 rather than be sucked into the spending wars of modern CFB.  They obviously don't see the ACC invite as a lifeline.

As to your BC comment, there is no response.  BC was already a member of the ACC when SU joined.  I don't recall the ACC's actual motivation for inviting BC.  Perhaps to give the ACC the 12th team to hold a Championship game?  I am too lazy this morning to research the matter as it has no bearing on my original comment.
