Message: [QUOTE="All4SU, post: 324892, member: 381"] It just appears as if all of MT's (and the BE's) solutions revolve around more members, bigger size, more diversity, and NOT on a clear mission or focus. In fact, I will go so far as to say the focus was on being everything possible to everyone. That's no long-term strategy. I agree that had FSU been lured away from the ACC, the BE had a chance to be something special. But Miami, VT, FSU, Pitt, WVU, SU, BC, Rutgers, Temple alone would not have been enough to lure FSU. He would have needed to make a play for FSU, GTech, Maryland and either NCState, UVA or Clemson. Forget L'Ville, Cincy or others. They were not part of the expansion plan at that time. This was in the 90s, and the existing BE + 4 from the ACC would have been dynamic. I just don't think anything was ever done to try and make that happen. They were just looking for "alliances" and agreements. They weren't building anything for the future. [/QUOTE]
