Message: [QUOTE="mojaveheel, post: 17503, member: 1141"] Dick: your next to last paragraph is not wrong as much as it is myopic... UNC received overtures from both the B1G and the SEC as did dook (yes, that is the correct spelling), and to their credit dook, independently, said thanks, but no thanks, as did UNC... both the B1G and the SEC felt they could absorb the hit they would take with dook football if UNC came as well... both UNC and dook voted against ANY expansion the last time around... we preferred a return to the past, but the world doesn't work that way... so both said NO to the B1G and the SEC and voted yes to partnering with SU and PITT, this time around... it was a deliberate choice, although both you and we are not gettin' our druthers... the upside is that there is tremendous potential going forward for a true Atlantic Coast league and the stability that comes with it for all of us... again, welcome...
