If that story is true - which it probably is since we have all


seen it "published" numerous times - that should give us all great concern about JS's negotiating skills.

He was in a position of power and Miami was not - yes, I know that Miami was a hot commodity at the time. However, Miami had no options but to stay in the Big East or join the ACC - the SEC, B1G, and Big12 were not options. JS's stance should have been - "The ACC is adding 3 teams from the Big East and we will decide who those teams are, not you. We would like for you to be a part of those 3 but if not than we will go with VT, BC, and Pitt or Syracuse. If you want to be a part of the 3 expansion teams that WE will pick, than we welcome you, but you will not dictate who we chose."

Miami had no viable alternative, why let them try to dictate anything upon the ACC at that time.
