BC is the real trouble maker in the Big East-ACC drama. When ACC pursued VT and Miami, BC joined the Big East as a plaintiff in a lawsuit. Then as soon as they were invited by ACC, they jumped. That was the reason for Jim Calhoun ‘s statements, et al. Everyone left in the Big East had vitriol for the Eagles.
Actually, the ACC was after Miami, BC, and Syracuse. VT was begging the ACC to take them, Duke and UNC were against expansion, and then Governor Mark Warner twisted UVA's arm and VT got in instead of Syracuse. Then, Syracuse and Pitt got in anyway a few years later, and the Big East as a football conference pretty much up and died at that point, and UConn, being a bad football program then but not the pathetic program it is now, was passed on in favor of Louisville, and Notre Dame got a sweetheart deal, much to the spurned Big 10's chagrin who took Maryland just to spite the ACC, but now needs the ACC to counter the SEC.
