I agree with the first part and have no idea if Tranghese saw it coming or not. If he didn't, then I suppose you'd have no choice but to criticize him for it. But I think where they got stuck was in two areas:
 
1) the basketball onlys set-up. I actually like the hybrid conference and think it should have been possible to come up with sensible revenue sharing given the fact that the conference was noteworthy almost entirely for it's basketball (at the time Va Tech was in it's infancy as a power). But either way, obviously the set-up was messy and couldn't have been been terribly attractive to outsiders.
 
2) affiliation with a southern conference, from what I gather, is huge to most of those schools. FSU may have been an option and I'd like to think UMD would listen to an offer. But, ultimately, I think they would stay with the ACC. 
 
Regardless, criticism may be valid, but I just think a lot of venom is based on the fact that people tend to simply view the conference breakup as avoidable if the BE had simply been proactive. I'm not sure it's that simple.
