Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 853465, member: 652"] Omni, I remember OTL Nightly in 2003 where Jim Boeheim went on with Bob Ley or whomever and was ENTHUSIASTICALLY against leaving the Big East for the ACC. Once the ACC added VPI and Miami and the NCAA said no to an 11 team conference championship game the ACC went with BC over SU because BC wanted it and was playing both sides while SU after people like JB were against it did not lobby to be ACC 12th team. The announcement for BC as the 12th team came the day SU-BC played at the Dome in 2003 and the student section which I was in threw dollar bills at BC players as he killed them. Our AD talked about looking at the B1G but it went nowhere. While I am sure during 2009-2010 TGD tried to drum up support from the B1G I don't think we were ever a serious target because we are private and only Northwestern is a private in the B1G. [/QUOTE]
