The 1991 ACC stuff is public

ACC wanted both Syracuse and Florida State.
Syracuse stayed with the Big East because they got Miami and the Big East finally formed a football conference by adding Miami, Temple, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, and Rutgers to existing members Boston College and Pittsburgh and us. The Big East actually semi-retained its basketball roots with West Virginia and Rutgers as football-only members until 1995, and Virginia Tech until 2001. Temple basketball wasn’t added because of Villanova.

Florida State chose ACC over SEC in 1992. When the SEC added South Carolina and Arkansas the Gamecocks were picked after Florida State said they wanted the ACC.

The Big Ten stuff is stuff I was told when I worked studied in the SU AD as a student from old timers who were in the know  here’s a hint his name rhymes with Stake Scroutcmaels.
He told me my freshman year which was his last year the exact spot where JB came in and said I don’t want to bleeping play conference games in Iowa.

If I could take a year off work and schedule interviews I could write an interesting book on college expansion I just can’t dedicate the proper time to do it right.
