...believe this to be an attempt to further appease the NCAA...but fact is this is a very bad move:
1. Miami cannot now play in the ACC championship game which means FSU against...No one...at least in my mind
2. Hurts FSU climbing the BCS rankings as the championship game may be against a 500 team or worse
3. The coach of Miami has now lost two post season bowl games caused by previous head coach...does Miami lose a good coach because of this
4. Takes dollars away from conference because of lack of bowl eligible teams
5. Does not mean NCAA will not still be punitive...any less.
...and importantly, this hurts the players who have been working hard and winning in hopes of post season, only to be denied another bowl experience that they earned.
