They didn't invite Syracuse for charities sake out of the goodness of their hearts. They knew full well that Syracuse draws eyeballs and would be a good revenue maker for the conference. I remember when Syracuse was an independant before the creation of the BigEast football conference and was a rising power who struck fear into the big power factory schools. Orange football helped to legitimize the BE as a football conference. I didn't think the BE did SU any favors then and actually drained some of the Oranges mystique away. And it seems the current league looks at SU as a tolerated guest. Had SU and the other BE football programs stuck together and created their own all-sports league like the American, they would be in a better position to succeed. Maybe the ACC would have been picked apart and the new league could have added some of the remains. Don't know, but I don't buy into the idea that Syracuse should be down on their knees thanking the ACC for saving them from irrelevance.
