Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 3043515, member: 628"] Eh, just about everyone in leadership positions at ACC schools when the lawsuit happened were long gone by 2011 and 2013. And people forget that PITT was part of the lawsuit as well. That didn't seem to derail their candidacy. The lawsuit became this big Internet message board talking point, but the reality is that by the time the ACC wanted to add schools again it[I] really[/I] wasn't a factor. UConn didn't get an ACC bid because of football, plain and simple. Pitt had a history as a strong program and is located in fertile Western PA recruiting grounds. Louisville had prior success and a demonstrated financial commitment to building and maintaining a strong program. [/QUOTE]
