Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 454459, member: 780"] Here's the ex post facto chain of events I think happened. 1. Clemson and FSU start pissing an moaning about the ACC as a football conference and start flirting with the Big 12 and SEC. 2. WVU joins the Big 12 and is unavailable. 3. Maryland bolts to B1G 4. Faced with a need to backfill Maryland and wanting to throw FSU and Clemson a bone with WVU "off the board" , ACC picks Louisville, defending UL academics as "not being as bad as they used to be". 4A. ACC doesn't pick UConn because its further away from FSU and Clemson (two of the schools they are trying to placate), UConn has had some problems with their basketball, UConn led the suit against the ACC in 2003 and BC says they are a bunch of azzholes. (FSU and UL are buddies from their day in the Metro Conference) I'm not sure I see a paradign shift here. Just a string of events. ACC is pretty much on the same strategy that they were on before the first raid in 2003. [/QUOTE]
