Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 3037309, member: 1145"] VT and UVA kept Syracuse out of the ACC in 2003, because the VT alums played VA state politics perfectly, so well that UVA agreed to vote FOR a 12 team league only if VT were invited as the 10th team before #s 11 and 12 were added. UNC and Dook wanted to stop at 10 members (Miami). Once VT was added as #10, Miami was the shoo in for #11. The 12th slot was between Cuse and BC. BC was chosen for the continuing play to woo Notre Dame. And because there was some small hope that ND would come aboard as a full football member then, the Acc waited 6 months to add BC and played 1 year with 11. [/QUOTE]
