Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 2696786, member: 622"] Delaney did target SU, and Pitt and Mizzou as a means of going to 14 or 16. The failure was in the Big schools not getting the large majority to invite any of these three, not even Kansas. It think the required vote for expansion was 75-90%, only UNL carried that much weight. No other schools were in as serious contention at the time. ND and UT were pipe dreams at that time. All other schools had less to offer than Mizzou, SU and Pitt for various reasons. Maryland was not a serious candidate until the ACC made their move. NOTE: Maryland is realizing the deal is not as good as they thought. [/QUOTE]
