And we'll be swimming triathlons.  Someone here made a great point yesterday about all that SU has accomplished so far...ON A BIG EAST $$$$-sized BUDGET!!!  With our football team going through the worst stretch of its entire history!  Imagine what they could do with the ACC paycheck?

We are in the ACC.  The ACC will be stabile.  We will be taking home millions more than we had been.  I don't buy this BS about the demise of the ACC.  Maryland had to take the money, period.  And the ACC really doesn't give a crap.  They do and they don't.  Losing MD in the state of disarray they are in means very little.  Even with the BIG money, they will not be players in anything 10 years from now.  They will lose fans in the short term in both BBall and Lax.  You can bank on that.  Football will get some new names in the stadium, but they will never sniff a BiG title.  So as far as being an "enemy program in ACC country" they aren't much of a threat.  The ACC could add Hopkins as a Lax only member and destroy MD's Lax base.

The real crux now is how much MD pays to get out.  I agree with Coach K on this...the ACC needs to stand firm on the number and fight that fight.
