Cherie, you only quoted my post not what I was responding to which was a post about cutting welfare checks.

I need to be clear, As a lifelong Big East fan, Cuse and to a lesser extent Pitt holds a good place in my heart.  I have always rooted for them outside of PC games.  I'm heartbroken about this but hold no ill will toward Syracuse, they did what they had to do to protect their interests.

I also agree that PC and the basketball schools will end up in the strongest basketball only conference in the country.  I'm fine with this.

I am angry over two things.  1st I find it disrespectful that Swofford and DeFillipo would choose the day that Dave Gavitt's death was announced to (he died Friday night)  to announce their intention to try and move the ACC tournament to MSG.  It may be a small thing but I take offense to it nonetheless.

And secondly I have a big problem with the President of Pitt.  As the person in charge of the BE's executive committee he used his position of power to get the other President's to shelve a $1.3 billion TV contract this spring.  It is widely speculated that this contract had specific language on the makeup of the league.  He knew he was jetting and if this is what Colleges and President's in particular are all about these day then it really is a sad day indeed for all of us.

One last thing, my comments in regard to new travel requirements were not intended to show that Cuse will be travelling any further than they already do, they won't.  It was to show that if UConn does not join the league (I expect them to) then Cuse will only have BC and Pitt as schools close them.

I also think that ND effectively killed any offer to Rutgers by saying that if forced they would rather have the ACC than the Big10.
