Message: [QUOTE="omniorange, post: 659175, member: 636"] Despite Gee's denials to the contrary, the rumor I heard (and I suspect your source is way more knowledgeable) was that SU's potential invite to the BiG was contingent on Notre Dame and that ND, SU, and Pitt had a gentlemen's agreement that either they all went to the BiG together or they stay in the Big East and try and make that work. For whatever reason, the BiG move didn't work out and they tried to make the BE work, with ND and Pitt being the prime movers in bringing about the TCU invite (although WVU fans still credit Luck with that for some reason) as #9. Things fell apart when it came to #10. Things start to move again with A&M openly flirting with the SEC, the ACC worried that an eastern SEC add might come from their ranks, Pitt being courted by the Big 12 for expansion to 12 and to try and get ND as a partial, leading to the ACC offering SU and Pitt and ND's uncharacteristic response to that move.
