I call horsepoop on this.  This calm, cool and logical reading of how things will shake out based on how they historically played out is just not accurate.

No one would have predicted MD would go to the B1G prior when the rumors first starting flying.  No one.  Yes - hey had major financial problems, but that was a wild twist.

Also, the B1G taking Rutgers was, and still is, a very controversial and not-so-obvious move.  We can talk until we are blue in the face about whether it was wise, but it was certainly not obvious.

Next - we have the ACC expansions.  VT stepping into our spot is not what the ACC intended.  Later on, many were confident we'd ultimately get an invite, but that also was uncertain (and quite a relief).

It'd be like the B1G waking up tomorrow and asking BC and Syracuse to join.  Damn - lock up the NE - make themselves attractive to ND, etc. etc.  There is logic to it.  If they did it, would we say it was obvious and logical in retrospect?  Hell no - if would be a crazy unpredictable move - just like the MD and Rutgers moves were.

And - yes, I am starting that rumor right now.  SU and BC to the B1G.  Makes about as much sense as anything else being tossed about.
