Miami was the dominant program at the time w/ multiple Nat Champs.TV wanted


them and would pay for them. The thought was that either the Big East or the ACC would survive and not both. So the ACC went after the big prize and that was Miami. "Remember Swofford has to get the University Presidents to vote for all of this"..it's way more to it than just what he wants.

VT was going to come later with Pitt or (long shot ND) once they got the Big East teams in there, they were confident they had the vote to get them in later.
