Message: [QUOTE="omniorange, post: 456407, member: 636"] Supposedly, this is what I was told went down. It actually makes sense to me. First vote was on UNC's and Duke's Miami only proposal. That was voted down. Once they did this they knew UNC and Duke would likely vote "No" on everything, although they had hope for Duke thinking they might prefer SU basketball to VT basketball. So knowing they would need UVa's vote to get Miami in if Duke didn't waiver, VT was actually voted on next. The vote on VT was supposedly designed with a "who will blink showdown" between NC State's Fox (long distance) and Duke's Keohane. Long story there and it no longer matters. When VT passed, then Miami was voted in. After Miami voted in, UVA president Casteen (like Fox, also long distance), motioned that further expansion be tabled at that time. This was seconded by Fox and passed. Neither BC nor SU supposedly came to a vote back in June 2003. Cheers, Neil [/QUOTE]
