You know where Dallas is, right? DFW is the third-largest airport on the planet and you can also fly direct into Love Field from most ACC campuses. Yeah, Stanford and Cal are a haul but you can knock out two games on the trip and it's certainly not much different than the preseason tournaments or invitationals that many teams travel long distances to. "Everyone else was playing politics and not voting for a position they knew would lose no matter what. That's why it wasn't closer to to the margin." SMU, Stanford and Cal needed 12/15 votes to be approved. Please don't tell me you thought that expansion only required a simple majority vote. FSU, Clemson and UNC did not need to "form a majority" as you erroneously stated; any of the 12 that voted yes could have switched their vote at the last minute and torpedoed the whole thing. The night before the vote, it was clear that only one more "no" vote was needed. I guess Miami, Louisville, VT, Pitt and others are just puppets for those ultra-powerful boosters in Winston-Salem! Puh-leeze. ALL of these schools are acting in their own self-interest. And 12/15 of them disagree with you. Thanks for reading and Pony Up!
