Unfortunately, Swofford lusted after Miami. He wanted Miami.


The other two teams didn't matter to Swofford. And Miami knew that.

Swofford was like the guy who walked into a car store and absolutely had to have a certain model on the showroom flow. The car salesman knows that, so the "negotiations" are pretty darn easy. The guy who is car buying can't walk away.

Since Swofford lusted after Miami, and had (blank) dreams about Miami, Shalala had Swofford by the family jewels. She wanted BC and Syracuse and Swofford didn't care.

Fortunately for VT, Duke and UNC voted no to anyone on every ballot, which, fortunately for VT again, gave the Hoos a veto.
