Message: [QUOTE="kirbivore, post: 35018, member: 952"] I always blamed Jake and Buzz for screwing up the original ACC overture back in 2003. That Daily Orange article is all the proof I need. -Syracuse history professor David Bennett thought it was obvious SU could still join the ACC even after June 24. This was an obvious second chance as, to Bennett, it was clear the ACC would go to 12 teams to have a lucrative conference championship game. Bennett, the former chairman of the Athletic Policy Board and the NCAA Faculty Representative from 1975-95, went to Shaw. "The question I had for (Shaw), it wasn't a question, it was a strong feeling, and it was that this could not stand," Bennett said. " … They were clearly going to add either Boston College or Syracuse. And I thought we should make a full-court press to be that school." Shaw and Crouthamel chose not to.- [IMG]http://knowyourmeme.com/system/icons/554/original/facepalm.jpg?1248715065[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
