What's this?

Yes that is the way it went during the first round of expansion but also


Shows JS’s weakness and lack of vision when it came to how he ran the conference. It’s not like Miami had a lot of options, their choices were ACC or Big East, and they were not staying in the Big East. So why did he not act like the Commish and tell Donna the way it was going to be and she could take it or leave it. I think that was symbolic of how he operated - lack of vision and lack of forcefull leadership. And I think that his weakness allowed ESPN and others to take advantage of him and the ACC going forward.
