Different stories I have heard about the ACC expansion
I can't say what I heard was true, but definitely different.
The ACC originally were going to invite Miami, BC, and Syracuse.
Miami for Football and Syracuse for B'ball. Out of the 3 the ACC WANTED Miami. I have always been told BC was in the deal because Miami wanted them in. They get a lot of their students from the NE and wanted to maintain a presence there. The ACC wanted Miami so back that they were willing to give that concession. I kinda go along with that, otherwise why BC? I don't have an answer. Then politics in VA got involved so we took the spot that was meant for Syracuse. I think otherwise it would have been Miami, Syracuse, and VT. So as far as I understand it, if you want to be grumpy at someone for letting BC in, be mad at The U, not the ACC. Again, just what I heard..........
