[QUOTE="RRRUUU, post: 16483, member: 1110"]
I never wanted to leave the Big East for the Big 10.  You are dead wrong that SU or Pitt was ahead of RU for that invite as well.  I know that Rutgers will land in the Big 10/ACC when the "super conference" wheel stops spinning in the near or distant future.

The truth is though that the Big East was about to sign a HUGE deal with one of the cable companies and that is why Pitt/SU are being poached.  The ACC knew we were about to bring in a larger deal and was afraid of the effect that would have had on their conference.  I think BC would have looked hard at the numbers and the way they are being treated in a southern conference and come back.  TCU would have added something next year.

Its a shame that we will never know what could have been.  We were in a fantastic position to cash in with 9-10 members.  I don't blame you for jumping because of the situation but you will never be a founding member in the ACC and will always be second fiddle there(just like we will be in the Big 10/ACC).  I think when this shakes out in the years to come we will all realize we blew a great opportunity to stand tall and and thrive as a conference...
