Would he have won those in the SEC? Perhaps, but probably not.

All of this reminds me of the BE days. Miami demanding better payouts -- corvt2000 Aug 10, 2023 at 01:06 PM ET

Did ND recommend expansion candidates? I am trying to remember. ** -- goldendomer Aug 10, 2023 at 01:13 PM ET

In 03? No. They had a better deal in the BE than they do in ACC -- corvt2000 Aug 10, 2023 at 05:37 PM ET

I think the ACC as whole decided to look into it and explore their options.** -- 132863Hokie Aug 10, 2023 at 02:02 PM ET

Yep, and when Miami joined the ACC they went into the toilet wrt football. -- RJHokie Aug 10, 2023 at 01:11 PM ET

They were, sort of, headed in that direction anyway -- Jethro Tull Aug 10, 2023 at 03:03 PM ET

Yeah, that’s one major cause. ** -- RJHokie Aug 10, 2023 at 03:20 PM ET

Hmm, maybe there is a lesson in that? -- Truthahn Aug 10, 2023 at 01:27 PM ET

Miami tanking had nothing to do with coming to the ACC. If you recall -- corvt2000 Aug 10, 2023 at 05:42 PM ET

corvt2000 • 08/10/23 05:42 PM ET

Probably the same. -- RJHokie Aug 10, 2023 at 01:32 PM ET

He shouldn’t have won the 2nd one, Tech made so many mistakes they hadn’t -- Stech Aug 10, 2023 at 08:20 PM ET
