You are right. I choose to disbelieve what you are saying. I have followed this very closely through the years. Seems like some now want to re-invent history or to create a history that never happened.

There certainly never was "an open invitation". There was never an invitation of any sort. UI'm sure the B1G discussed all sorts of hypotheticals through the years. But that's a long, long way from an invitation.

This is just another CR fantasy based on scant evidence or rumors.

The only mention of SU by a B1G person came in the wake of the ND spurning of the B1G actual invitation. When asked about SU as an alternative, the ehair of the committee said that SU met the general description of what they were looking for in a member.

The ACC is the only conference that was ever actually interested in SU. We would have been invited except for the Governor of VA leveraging VT in instead of us.

When we see what the B1G actually did, it's pretty easy to reverse-engineer that decision and that analysis shows SU was never close to being a possibility.
