He apparently never saw our crowds in DC, Charlottesville and the Triangle.

Its not that outlandish. While if you can guarentee the ACCs permenant survival I'd def prefer it to the B1G. Its a better fit culturally and athletically. But with the uncertainty right now a case could be made for the B1G were it available.

This strangely sounds like one of those Capital One Jimmy Fallon and the baby commercials..."But, it's more money!" "No". Duh, Pitt and SU wish they were getting B1G money, any idiot could say that.

The Big Ten East: Rutgers, Syracuse, Maryland Penn State, Pitt, Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State, Throw in West Virginia/Va Tech/ and Virginia and you start the New ECAC Conference,with Army/Navy/Temple Down the road. Raid the MAC also

SU is in the conference it belongs in. It fits in much better with mid-sized universities such as Georgia Tech, Virginia, BC and Miami than it does the behemoths such as OSU, Michigan and PSU. I'd also much rather take road trips to the south in the fall than the midwest.

Its a rational argument. SU and Pitt would be excellent geographic fits for the B1G.

Honestly, I can see SU in either the B1G or the ACC.

If we had a choice, I would definitely go to the Big 10. I think, assuming it is feasable financially and geographically, you try to compete with the absolute best. Having said that, the smart move was to take the bird in hand and go to the ACC. But if the Big 10 called and invited us tomorrow? Absolutely, I would go.

Why are you here?

No, we're doing well...As I noted in the original email, I'm still an SU Football fan.

I dont care about the money. I'd slit my wrists if we had to watch B1G basketball and football for the next 40 years. Especially basketball. Good lord.
