Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 1836869, member: 622"] You should read the many threads that were written prior to the ACC invite. The ACC is a better fit for Syracuse as SU is not a large, public, land grant university. Only Northwestern does not meet that characteristic of the B1G. Regardless, it cannot be denied that Syracuse was on the ACC radar for decades (Syracuse was offered when FSU was offered!) and the B1G at least considered Syracuse seriously enough to run straw votes (only UNL was offered at the time as they alone could garner enough support - so much for PSU's influence at the time). Rutgers was never an ACC target and only got the B1G invite because the B1G snoozed and missed out on Mizzou (who begged to get in), Syracuse, Pitt. Only when PSU demanded eastern expansion did Rutgers get a serious look, and then only because the B1G could not get who they wanted. So close to 30 million people and yet no one cares about Rutgers.
